Please do not send your student to school if he/she has taken a test and you are awaiting results.

Students who tested negative may return to school if:

1. They do not have an order to quarantine or isolate
2. They are free of signs and symptoms of COVID-19
3. They have signs or symptoms but are fever free for 48 hours

No, if the quarantine period is complete and the student is symptom-free, they may return to school by bringing the required ADH documentation.

Parents will be notified by either the district POC, a school nurse, or a building administrator.

Yes. All PCCs will be contacted by an Arkansas Department of Health Contact Tracer. Contact tracing is a critical tool in the fight against COVID-19. If you get a call from 877-272-6819 or 833-283-2019, be sure and pick up the phone, because you may have been exposed to COVID-19.

A letter or email from the Arkansas Department of Health releasing from quarantine or isolation. If you do not receive any documentation you may email: ADH.coronavirus@arkansas.gov

Only those students and staff that are determined to be a Probable Close Contact will be notified and ordered to quarantine. Others who were not identified as a PCC may be contacted as long as the privacy of student/staff health information can be protected.

Yes, they will be marked absent initially, but it will be changed to “quarantine” when the school receives the required ADH documentation.

Unless your child shows symptoms of COVID-19, or you receive a call and email from a district representative, you should continue with your normal routine.
