View our Archived Building Notifications (doc) for prior notifications.

Building Notification:   We will post a building notification on an impacted school's website within 24 hours if a student or staff member in a particular building is positive for COVID-19. This notification is for informational purposes only. If your child was in a classroom or in close contact of the positive case you will receive additional notifications and information. 

Classroom Notification:   The school will send a direct notification to classroom parents if there was a Positive Case of a student or staff member in their child's classroom.  This does not mean that your child is quarantined unless they have met the “close contact” definition.  This notification is for informational purposes only.  

Individual Notification (Close Contact):  The Clinton County Health District will notify the student’s guardians directly if they have been in close contact with someone who tested positive and will provide directions about the need to quarantine.  Close contact means being closer than six feet apart for fifteen minutes or more while the person was infectious, which applies from two days before any symptoms began. 

Parents are encouraged to notify the school within 24 hours of receiving a positive COVID-19 test result or clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 for their child. Please use one of the following methods to report:

During School Hours: Call your child’s school or the attendance hotline.

  OR

After School Hours and Weekends - Use our COVID-19 Case Reporting Form.

Please review our Updated Quarantine Guidance for Spring 2021 document for details and FAQs regarding quarantine duration.

NOTE: If your child is in our Virtual Education program (VEd), they are still WCS students and should report COVID-19 cases as they may still be interacting with students through extracurriculars and other activities.

We are working closely with our local health department during the pandemic. Parents are encourage to review the following guidance for information regarding:

• Symptom Assessment - When to stay home and when to return to school
• Positive COVID-19 Diagnosis - Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG)
• Resource links for additional COVID-19 Information
