New Quarantine/Isolation Guidelines

SVUSD’s updated protocols are based upon the most recent CDPH Isolation and Quarantine Guidelines and  Orange County Health Care Agency Orders and Strong Recommendations.  

In summary:

• COVID-19 positive staff and students may return to work or school after Day 5 if symptoms are not present/improving AND they test negative on Day 5.
• Close contact staff who are vaccinated and boosted* (or vaccinated, but not yet booster- eligible**) may remain at work.
• Close contact students who are vaccinated and boosted* (or vaccinated, but not yet booster- eligible**) may remain in school if they test negative on Day 5. 
• Close contact staff who are not vaccinated must remain at home for at least 5 days. A negative test on Day 5 is required to return along with remaining asymptomatic.
• Close contact staff who are vaccinated and unboosted (but booster-eligible)*** and asymptomatic may remain at work if they test negative between Day 3-5.
• Close contact students who are not vaccinated or are unboosted (but booster-eligible)*** may remain in school if they test negative on Day 5, are asymptomatic, and wear a mask. These students are not eligible to participate in extracurricular activities.

SVUSD COVID Reporting Dashboard

• The SVUSD COVID-19 Reporting Dashboard is updated daily with positive COVID cases of students and staff that have been present on campus while infectious. 
• If an individual is not on campus during their infectious period, such as during vacation or holiday, the case is not included in the Dashboard.  

• In addition to accessing this information via our District website, you can also monitor the Dashboard at the following link: SVUSD COVID Resources

 

Daily Symptom Check and reporting COVID positive results to sites

• All students and staff should continue to complete a Daily Symptom Check  to determine whether or not to come to school each day. 
• Students who are COVID-19 positive, show symptoms, or are a close contact should remain at home and a parent or guardian should contact the site attendance office.  
  • The SVUSD District contact tracing team will contact you and inform you of your child’s return-to-school date.  
  • Your child’s school site will partner with you to continue your child’s learning while in isolation/quarantine. 

 

Mask-wearing in SVUSD

• All students, staff, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear a mask on SVUSD campuses when indoors and around others.
