St. Johns County School District issued the following announcement on February 3.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
With the increase in COVID-19 numbers and need to make sure we are timely with our communication, we are asking parents to use an online form to report a positive student and we will adjust how we communicate with you regarding a positive COVID-19 case on campus.
To notify us of your child’s positive COVID-19 test result we are requesting that you complete the Optional Positive Student Reporting Form. However, should you feel you need to discuss your child’s COVID-19 scenario in detail, please feel free to bypass the form and call the District COVID Support Team at 904-547-8230.
When we receive information regarding a positive student, we will communicate to all parents in the classroom that there has been a positive case in your child’s class. In the past, we have only communicated to close contacts. By making this adjustment, we can notify parents faster and more efficiently.
We continue to ask you to monitor your child for symptoms and keep them home if they are not well. We want students to be in school learning and we also want children healthy and safe. We are in this together and will continue to work together to navigate this new normal.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please call 904-547-8230 for further clarification.
Sincerely,
SJCSD Administration
