Update to 2021-2022 School Calendar On Tuesday, the School Board authorized a change to the 2021-2022 school calendar. The following dates have been approved as student and staff holidays: November 12, 2021 February 18, 2022 April 15, 2022 SCPS Updates Quarantine Procedures SCPS follows the full CDC guidance for determining which staff and students need to quarantine due to being exposed to a person who tests positive for COVID-19 or if a person tests positive for COVID-19. CDC guidance for quarantine in the school setting from a primary contact is as follows: 14 days from the last contact with the person who tested positive is the prefered length of quarantine. However, they do offer options to shorten quarantine, as follows: 10-day quarantine, if symptom free the entire time, can return to school on day 11 or, 7 day quarantine, if symptom free the entire time and there is a negative COVID-19 test on day 5 after exposure, students can return to school on day 8. Families must submit proof of negative COVID-19 test prior to the return to school on day 8. With both shortened quarantine time lines, the person must monitor for symptoms and stay home if symptoms arise, as well as it is recommended to be tested for COVID-19 at that time.
