Moving forward, there is a stronger focus on individual responsibility for testing and, when a person tests positive, for notifying the school and/or close contacts about potential exposure.
- Families should monitor their children for signs of COVID-19 and keep them home when sick.
- At-home tests are available from the school nurse upon request, provided sufficient supply from KDHE.
- USD 411 will follow the current guidelines for isolation for those infected with COVID-19 and quarantine for those exposed to COVID-19.
- USD 411 offers rapid antigen testing for COVID-19 and Influenza A/B, as well as PCR testing for COVID-19. Testing requires express consent from parents or legal guardian before any testing.
