The student's identity will be kept confidential.

The school will do contact tracing and notify other students/teacher of an exposure. Exposure is defined as within 6 feet for greater than 15 minutes.  

If quarantine is recommended the nurse will work with the family on their return to school.
The student(s) will remotely learn while in quarantine. The family will arrange pick up of needed items from school.
