JE Test to Stay Protocol in effect until further notice
Beginning Monday, February 28, 2022, non-symptomatic students exposed to COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, will be referred to the District Office or the Sunday clinic for PCR testing. Students are to stay home until the results come in.If the student has been referred via the COVID-19 Hotline, the respective school nurse will be notified that a student is entering the JE Test to Stay Protocol. If that student's first PCR test is negative and the student is asymptomatic, the student returns to school, but must wear a quality mask and be tested by the respective nurse on days 3 and 5. Once results come back from day 5 testing, the student is released from Test to Stay.
