Attendance

Illness Protocol

Oakwood follows the guidance of the California Department of Public Health when determining whether children with symptoms of illness should attend school, stay home, or seek medical attention.

CDPH: When to Keep Your Child Home from School

Positive COVID-19 Test

Positive COVID-19 Test

5 Day Isolation Period

If a student tests positive for COVID-19, they are expected to isolate at home for 5 full days, even if symptoms have resolved. Positive test results do not need to be submitted to the school.

Return to School

If symptoms have improved, students may return to school on Day 6, regardless of test results. (The first date that symptoms started or the positive test was administered is considered Day 0.)

Students are expected to wear a face covering indoors on campus until:

Two separate negative test results, taken 24 hours apart, are submitted to the school OR
Day 10.

Clearance

The Pandemic Team, while still reviewing cases as needed, is not providing daily clearances as in years past. The office teams are handling absences and a student’s absence must be reported via the Attendance form in Veracross. Please view the SCC Public Health flowcharts for the guidance Oakwood follows.
