SAS Families, here are the most updated COVID guidelines from the NJ Department of Health: "Quarantine is no longer recommended for people who are exposed to COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. Therefore, NJDOH is discontinuing its recommendation for a Test to Stay Program. However, asymptomatic students and staff who were exposed to COVID-19 should continue to test and wear a mask for 10 days. Those individuals who test positive, regardless of vaccination status, and individuals with COVID-19 symptoms who have not been tested and do not have an alternative diagnosis from their healthcare provider, should stay at home for at least 5 full days after symptom onset or after the positive test. Individuals who have no symptoms, or symptoms are resolving after 5 days and are fever-free for 24 hours, can return to school and wear a mask for an additional 5 days." So if you were exposed you need to wear a mask and self-monitor for 10 days - there is no longer a quarantine period. If you test positive, 5-day isolation and as long as you are symptom-free, you can return to school and wear a mask for 5 days. This guidance is for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. If you have any questions, please contact our nurse, Mrs. Krista Gladney
