Falls City Public School District is updating our Covid-19 Exclusion Guidelines per the recommendations of the SEDHD in response to the increased number of cases in the community. Our previous guidelines only excluded based on the four main symptoms of Covid-19. The new guideline includes 2 or more of the following: Fever 100.4F, chills, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea and/or fatigue.
We would also like to address the recent news that the CDC may be shortening the length of quarantine. We will continue to follow the most recent DHM even if the CDC does make changes. Quarantine is still 14 days from last contact with the Covid+ person. Isolation for the Covid+ person is 10 days from the first symptom or 10 days from the test date if asymptomatic. Please continue to wash masks daily and send plenty to school for students to rotate the use of when they become soiled. Ask your child to bring them home regularly for washing.
North School Families:
We would like you to complete a very short (3 questions) survey to obtain information that will help us evaluate our Positive Behavioral and Intervention Supports (PBIS) at North School.
