We ask our families and employees to closely monitor themselves for possible symptoms. If you or your child are feeling ill, please stay home. 

Reporting

• Families should report a positive COVID-19 test result, or symptoms to their child’s school who can provide further instructions or guidance.
  • A student who tests positive or is symptomatic, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to stay home for a time period based on current CDC guidelines.
• Staff members should report a positive COVID-19 test result or symptoms to their supervisor, who can provide further instructions or guidance.
  
  • A staff member who tests positive or is symptomatic regardless of vaccination status, will be required to stay home for a time period based on current CDC guidelines. 
  • Staff members will be required to provide proof of positive test results through a clinical test in order to utilize COVID leave. Home test results will not be accepted. OKCPS offers free testing for staff, please visit www.okcps.org/Page/6807.

Cleaning Following a Positive COVID-19 Case

In addition to the daily cleaning protocols, after notification of a positive COVID-19 case in a building, high touch point surfaces and potentially impacted areas will be isolated and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. 

Returning to Work or School

A student or staff member who tests positive for COVID-19 will be required to stay home for a time period based on current CDC guidelines. Please note that learning will not be interrupted as students will be able to continue with virtual learning. 

After receiving a positive test, a student or staff member should:

• Report a positive case to the school or supervisor. 
• Stay home for 5 days.
• Please note: OKCPS will also continue to require any individual with a mask exemption who tests positive to isolate (stay home) for 10 days. If the individual is willing to wear a mask for 5 days, they can return to school after 5 days of isolation.
• Continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days.
• If you have a fever, continue to stay home until your fever resolves. *OKCPS defines “fever resolves” as no fever without fever reducing medication for 24 hours.

Please review the CDC guidance regarding travel if you plan to travel during the school year.
