Updated COVID Information

Unfortunately, we are experiencing another surge in COVID cases right now. I understand that there are a lot of questions regarding what to do now. I will try to address them all at once. We have received numerous phone calls and emails over the last couple of days. As you are aware, masks are required for all people entering all school buildings (even the basketball game).

1. What do I do if my child tests positive? Please email the teacher first. Your teacher will then forward it to the appropriate people at school. The next step after that is to wait for a call from NURSING SERVICES. Please note: Nurse Upchurch may not be the one reaching out. There is a set of COVID contact tracing nurses that will call you and explain more. That will be your chance to ask any questions. The number one thing is to please make sure your child's teacher is aware!

2. What do I do if my child is exposed to someone that tests positive? Please email the teacher first. Again, it will get forwarded to the appropriate people and they will reach out. It will be similar to #1.

3. What if it has been 5 days since I emailed the teacher and I haven't heard from nursing services? You can email both [email protected] and [email protected]

4. Where can I get a test? Here is a link to CCSD sponsored testing sites and times: https://www.ccsdschools.com/domain/4116

5. My child has a "cold" . Do I need to get them tested? If your child has: fever > 100.4 OR sore throat OR new or worsening cough OR difficulty breathing OR loss of taste or smell OR headache, fatigue, congestion, runny nose, nausea/vomiting or diarrhea, they would need one of the following in order to return to school: negative COVID test OR a doctor's note stating they can return OR wait 5 days from start of symptoms AND a note stating symptoms have improved and no fever in the past 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication.

6. Protocols being utilized by CCSD regarding quarantining: (subject to change based on guidance from DHEC):

Positive Student to Return to School - At least 5 days of quarantine since symptoms began, then parent note that symptoms have improved and no fever for past 24 hours (without medication)

Close Contact Student Return to School - After day 10 without testing, OR return after day 5 with negative viral test (taken no earlier than day 4)

For both positive and close contact - Must wear mask between days 6-10

Non-symptomatic vaccinated do not need to quarantine if up-to-date (16 years and older need booster if >6 months since 2nd dose)

I understand the protocols can change and that these place burdens on some families. Please bear with us as we navigate through this evolving situation.

Thank you, we are happy to see you and your students back at DHES, keep Rowing the Boat, and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Bobcats!!!!!
