COVID-19 updates as of 3/17/23

COVID-19 Tests

If students or employees receive an exposure notification, they can go to the Student Health Center for a COVID-19 test kit. Test kits will be distributed during Community Programming before Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks for students and employees to test before returning to school after the break.

If an individual suspects they have COVID-19 or have been told they are a close contact, please use the information provided on the CDPH website for decision making..

 

Masks

Masks are optional except for those returning from COVID-19 isolation and those who have been exposed to COVID-19 (see CDPH Mask Guidelines updated 3/13/23). Per CAL/OSHA and CDPH guidelines, individuals who have been exposed to COVID-19 must wear a mask for 10 days after exposure notification. Masks are available in the main office.
