What happens if. . . ● ● (“The Pivot Process”) MY CHILD has a lab-confirmed Covid diagnosis/must quarantine due to close contact (see next slide) with a lab-confirmed positive case: they will temporarily transition into the virtual classroom. THE TEACHER has a lab-confirmed Covid diagnosis/must quarantine due to close contact with a lab-confirmed positive case: Campus Substitute will facilitate classroom instruction while the classroom teacher teaches remotely (if health condition allows). THE CLASS/SCHOOL must quarantine due to percentage of positive Covid cases: Students will follow their daily schedule (link to schedules are in Canvas) remotely. All activities and instruction will be provided by their classroom teachers through Canvas and Zoom. You will be notified about specific changes in your child’s schedule or mode of instruction. All links for virtual instruction (if applicable) will be provided by 8: 00 am the following school day. Students must check all content area teachers’ Canvas pages for related assignments and instructions.

What if another student in my child’s class has Covid? Your child will ONLY be required to quarantine if they have been in “close contact” (contact within 6 feet, for longer than 15 minutes, without a mask or face shield) with someone who has a lab-confirmed Covid diagnosis. You will be contacted by school administrators should this occur. In this instance, your child would switch to the virtual learning classroom for a minimum of 14 days. They can return to in-person learning after 14 days (no earlier) if they do not develop symptoms.

What if my child has suspected Covid symptoms and is awaiting test results? You may request make-up work from your child’s teachers. Your child will only pivot to the virtual classroom if they have a lab-confirmed Covid diagnosis, or are required to quarantine as previously discussed.
