COVID-19

Isolation, Quarantine, and Close Contacts Scenarios

Q. My child has a cough or two of the symptoms on part 2 of the Health Screening Checklist 2020-21. What should I do? 

Now, some students may have to miss extended periods of time throughout the school year because of this "best practice."  We have mounted in all the 4K-grade 8 classrooms a camera that displays only the front of the whiteboard of the classroom.  Depending on the grade level, students will have the opportunity to join virtually and watch a/some lesson(s) for the day from home.  This virtual option is meant for students who are quarantining, isolating, or waiting test results.  Please be patient with the teachers as it may take a day for the teachers to gather materials and send you the virtual invite for google meet for virtual learning.

Isolation Release and House Hold Contacts of Positive Cases

• How long do I need to quarantine? The answer may depend on whether you live with someone who has been diagnosed. Since it may take up to 14 days for you to have symptoms after infection, you should self-quarantine for 14 days from when you last had contact with the infected person, or for 14 days from when the infected person in your household has recovered. Even if you test negative for COVID-19 during your 14-day quarantine, it is important to continue to quarantine for the full 14 days. You could have been exposed to COVID-19 at some point and not enough time has passed for the test to pick it up. You may test positive at a later date.

See Outagamie County Public Health (OCPH) quarantine release flyer for those who:

• Had a close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19

• Live with someone who has COVID-19

• Live with someone what has COVID-19, but never got sick

Wisconsin Childhood Communicable Disease Wall Chart

This Holy Spirit Catholic School's dashboard is designed to provide a snapshot of the number of students/staff out of school due to COVID-19 at a specific point in time.

• Active Positive Cases: The number of students/staff who are currently diagnosed as COVID-19 positive.
• Quarantine:
  • Students/staff who have not tested positive but are home due to being identified as a close contact to an individual who has tested positive which may or may not have transpired at school.
• Classes in Quarantine: Does not mean an outbreak of cases occurred in a class. Students/staff in a quarantined class are not counted in the quarantine numbers.

Students/staff are deducted from this data when they return to school.
Numbers will be updated daily (Monday-Friday) by 3:30 p.m.
