At this time, close/household contacts are not required to quarantine as long as they are symptom free.

The district will not be offering COVID testing
Home test kits will be available from the school nurse as long as supplies are available
What if my student is Positive for COVID-19?
A Positive COVID-19 test for a STUDENT must be reported on the Google Form as detailed below.
Any SDPC student that has tested positive for COVID will need to enter their information on the SDPC Student COVID Reporting Form.
Please answer all of the questions about your student's COVID circumstance.
Please, do not send your student to school until you have heard from someone at the school
Once the positive test result is reported, someone from the school will be back in touch with you with your student’s return to work date.
