COVID-19 GUIDANCE AND PROTOCOL FOR THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR
The following are important guidelines for the School District of Hilbert to utilize to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and other communicable diseases.
- All students and staff should stay home when they are sick.
- The District will optimize ventilation, airflow and indoor air quality.
- Our staff will teach and reinforce hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette (coughing and sneezing).
- High tough surfaces in the District will be cleaned at least once per day.
- As a District, we promote vaccinations against preventable diseases.
Here is the protocol for COVID-19:
- Contact tracing is no longer required.
- If a student or staff member is asymptomatic, they will not need to quarantine.
- If a student or staff member is a close contact, they can attend school if they are asymptomatic.
- If a student or staff member is symptomatic and tests negative, they can attend school but need to wear a mask.
- If a student or staff member is symptomatic and has not tested, they must remain home for 24 hours fever free and symptoms must be improving.
- If a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19, they must stay home and isolate for 5 days and then they can return to school on day 6 and mask through day 10.
