School-related positive COVID-19 Case
In the case of a school-related positive COVID-19 case over the winter break, Administrators of SJASD schools in consultation with Public Health will determine the period of communicability for the positive individual and determine if there were any close contacts. Only students/ staff who are deemed close contacts will be notified via email. If there are no close contacts from the case, no action will be required.
Families will be required to regularly check their email account for such notifications from the school. Information on the isolation (quarantine) period and testing options will be included in the email sent to close contacts. In most situations, public health officials will no longer be following up with close contacts.
We wish you all the best in 2022, and we look forward to reopening schools for in-class learning for students on Monday, January 10, 2022.
