Infection Control Guidelines

Dear Families, Students, and Staff,

The CDC recently released updated infection control guidelines with a change to combine COVID-19 into the general classification of respiratory viruses including influenza, RSV, and others. There are no longer any specific COVID-19 infection control guidelines. 

We are adjusting our return to school, athletics, and other extracurricular activities guidelines in line with CDC recommendations. Students and staff must be fever free for 24 hrs., without Tylenol or Ibuprofen, and show symptom improvement for 24 hrs. before returning to school, athletics, and other extracurricular activities. The CDC visuals below are helpful to manage return for students and staff.

We will not require masks upon returning for positive COVID or other sick kids, but as always students and staff with chronic disease or other risks can always wear a mask and parents who mask their kids on illness return for several days will have the satisfaction of helping reduce potential spread to others. 

Thanks,

WLCSC School Nurses and Physicians
