Summer Programs
COVID Precautions and MASKING UPDATE (Effective 6/3/22)
Weekly home testing
All summer school students will be provided with at-home test kits. Please test your student for Covid at least once weekly, EVEN IF THEY DO NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS.. Your student will receive a test kit on the first day of school.
Testing when sick
If your student has any of the following symptoms, THEY MUST STAY HOME WHILE THEY HAVE SYMPTOMS, TEST THE DAY AFTER SYMPTOMS BEGIN and again 1-2 days later, even if back in school. Wear a mask indoors at least until receiving a second negative test result after having symptoms (masks are required at all times in summer school, for all students).
- Symptoms of COVID-19 that require testing include: sore throat or scratchy throat, fever, runny nose, congestion, cough, difficulty breathing, headache, loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, unexplained fatigue, and/or unexplained muscle or body aches.
- Please be aware that it often takes several days after symptom onset to test positive and that your first test may be negative. You may test positive several days later after the virus accumulates in your body.
Follow these instructions to report home test results.
If you need additional test kits, they will be available at your school office.
MASKING UPDATE
Effective Friday, June 3, 2022 at 12:01am, the Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD) requires masks to be worn indoors in public places, regardless of vaccination status. This new Health Order applies to individuals participating in summer school and summer camps. For more information, please review the ACPHD press release.
All summer school and summer camp participants will be required to wear a mask, covering both the nose and mouth when indoors. Public Health officials recommend more protective masks such as KN95, KF94, and N95, not a cloth or paper mask.
