CRCSD Announces COVID-19 Isolation Update
Isolation period for students reduces from 10 days to 5 days beginning March 1st

Effective March 1, 2022, CRCSD will implement a five-day COVID-19 isolation period for students who have tested positive for COVID-19 or have symptoms of COVID-19. The existing 10-day isolation period will be removed. PK-12 students who have tested positive for COVID-19 or have symptoms of COVID-19 may return to school on day six if fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medicine and symptoms improving. These students will wear a mask at school through day 10 (remove on day 11). CRCSD encourages these students to social distance to the extent possible during breakfast and lunch. Students who choose not to wear a mask, for any reason, will continue to isolate themselves at home for the full 10-day period.
