MASK POLICY

Masks will be required to be worn by all staff, students, and visitors while inside the school building. This is a recommendation that has been made by the Oakland County Health Division.

Follow the new guidelines per the CDC
regarding quarantining:
Required to quarantine:

Close contacts exposed at less than 3-feet of space must quarantine.
If 3-6 feet of space has been maintained, and one or both were unmasked, then quarantine is also required.

Exclusions from quarantine:

People who have tested positive for COVID-19* do not need to quarantine or get tested again for up to 3 months if they remain symptom-free. Those who develop symptoms again within 3 months of their first COVID-19 positive test may need to be tested again if no other cause is identified for their symptoms.
Vaccinated persons* are not required to quarantine if they are more than 14 days since receiving the last dose in the series or have remained asymptomatic since the current COVID-19 exposure.
If 3-6 feet of space has been maintained, and both were properly masked, the parties do not have to quarantine.
*If someone is exposed and has tested positive in the past or is vaccinated, proof of that status is required to avoid quarantine. If you do not wish to share that documentation, the maximum recommended, 14-day quarantine period will be enforced.

Quarantining period:

We will follow the 10-day reduced quarantine strategy.
Stay home for 10 days after exposure while wearing a mask and physically distance yourself from others.
Those who quarantine for 10 days must cooperate with the contact tracing efforts while monitoring for symptoms for two weeks after exposure.
If symptoms occur, immediately isolate and get a COVID-19 test.
