Dear NUSD Staff and Community,
It’s hard to believe we have less than 3 weeks of school left! It’s been quite a year with the Omicron variants and now, with your help, we’re navigating another COVID surge as the school year ends.
All schools have a supply of rapid antigen test kits. Please pick one up from the school office or make arrangements to obtain one if needed.
NUSD is seeing an increase in cases in both students and staff. Marin Public Health updated their guidelines earlier this month in response to high community transmission.
Those updated guidelines include:
- If an exposed student or staff is symptomatic and tests negative, it is recommended that they remain at home and test for COVID-19 with an antigen test on day 3 after the start of symptoms OR immediately seek PCR testing.
-
-
- Once a negative COVID-19 antigen test on day 3 after symptoms or a negative PCR result is received, the student/staff may return to school/work if without fever for 24 hrs. and symptoms have significantly improved.
-
- Recommendation that exposed individuals mask for 10 days from exposure.
- Recommendation to wear a mask at school while indoors.
- Out of state or international travel: Test on Day 5 after returning home. Staff are advised to follow CDC travel guidance, which includes quarantine of persons who are not up to date on their COVID vaccinations.
If you’re feeling ill, please stay home, take care of yourself, and get tested.
Here is a link to the Isolation, Quarantine, and Travel Guidance that was updated on May 23, 2022, for your information.
Please feel free to reach out to your principal or supervisor with any questions. We’re also happy to answer any questions. 12 school days and counting!
Thank you.
