Current COVID-19 Policies
The St. Joseph Board of Education voted 6-1 at its December meeting to make masking optional when students returned to the classroom on January 4, 2022.
Students and Staff that are COVID-19 positive, should remain home for at least 5 days. To return on the 6th day, the positive individual must be fever free for a minimum of at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication such as Tylenol, Motrin, or Advil and must have improvement in symptoms. The individual will need to wear a mask upon the return to school through the 10th day.
Parents will be contacted by their child’s school if they have been exposed to a positive COVID case. The student exposed can continue to attend school if they show no sign of symptoms. Parents should monitor their children closely during this time. If a student is sick, they should stay at home. Masks are highly recommended for exposed students for 10 days.
Masks are still required on school buses, as mandated by the CDC and the Department of Transportation.
