The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) released Guidance for K–12 Schools and Child Care Settings to Mitigate the Spread of Communicable Diseases, 2023–24 School Year on Aug. 28, 2023.
This guidance is intended to support safe, in-person learning and care by building on the lessons learned and strategies used to manage COVID-19.
For students:
- Consider wearing a mask around others if you have respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, runny nose, and/or sore throat).
- Stay up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by your healthcare provider.
For staff:
- Cal/OSHA requires employees to notify their immediate supervisor if they are positive for COVID and remain home.
- Cal/OSHA requires employees to remain masked until Day 11 regardless of a negative test on day 5 or later
- Staff will still be notified when our District is made aware of a positive case on campus per CAL/OSHA.
As previously reported, Governor Newsom ended the COVID state of emergency in February. At this time we are no longer providing families with COVID notifications when there is a positive COVID case on campus.
We will continue to provide at-home COVID tests to staff, students, and families at our schools in partnership with CDPH.
