STM Parents and Families,
Please see below for the most recent guidelines regarding quarantine and isolation as it relates to Covid. Please know our masking guidelines have not changed. Be sure that your students come to school with a mask and have a couple extra with them as well.
Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or clarification.
COVID POSITIVE CASES
- Covid+ cases must isolate for 5 days from either symptom onset or positive test result, if asymptomatic. Symptom onset day or positive test day is considered day 0.
- If you are fever free for 24 hours and symptoms have improved then on day 6, you may return to school BUT MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES through day 10. If the student is unable to wear a mask, they must stay home through day 10 with a return to school on day 11.
