COVID-19 Resources

If your child is exposed to COVID-19 at school or at home, follow the guidance on the CDC's What to Do If You Were Exposed to COVID-19 page. 

If your child tests postive for COVID-19 or shows any symptoms, follow the guidance on the CDC's Isolation and Precautions for People with COVID-19 page.

Read the CDC's Schools and Childcare Programs page for recommended strategies to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and maintain safe operations in schools, child care programs, and institutions of higher education. If you are unsure what steps your child's school is taking to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, ask a teacher or administrator to explain the school's COVID-19 safety strategies.
