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.

1. All students and staff should stay home when they are sick.
2. The District will optimize ventilation, airflow and indoor air quality.
3.  Our staff will teach and reinforce hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette (coughing and sneezing).
4. High tough surfaces in the District will be cleaned at least once per day.
5. As a District, we promote vaccinations against preventable diseases.

Here is the protocol for COVID-19:

1. Contact tracing is no longer required.
2. If a student or staff member is asymptomatic, they will not need to quarantine.
3.  If a student or staff member is a close contact, they can attend school if they are asymptomatic.
4. If a student or staff member is symptomatic and tests negative, they can attend school but need to wear a mask.
5. 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.
6. 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.
