Press release from Austin ISD - Announcement: August 19, 2021 By Scott Thomas With the first week of school about to close, Austin ISD is reaching out to families to remind them about keeping students home who are showing symptoms, among other health protocols. What you need to know: If your child is showing symptoms such as coughing, fever, or shortness of breath, please keep them home and get a COVID-19 test. Yes, but: Vaccinated students do not need to quarantine after being exposed to someone with COVID-19. Getting students vaccinated is one of the best ways to ensure they have a normal school year. Go Deeper: With our health protocols, we've implemented a multilayered approach to ensuring even if a student comes onto campus with COVID, that they won't infect their classmates or teachers. Al estar a punto de terminar la primera semana de clases, el Austin ISD está recordándoles a las familias que deben mantener en casa a los estudiantes que tengan síntomas, entre otros protocolos de salud. Lo que necesita saber: Si su niño está teniendo síntomas como tos, fiebre o falta de aliento, por favor, manténgalo en casa y hágale una prueba de COVID-19. Sí, pero… los estudiantes vacunados no necesitan hacer cuarentena después de haber estado expuestos a alguien con COVID-19. Vacunar a los estudiantes es una de las mejores maneras de garantizar que tengamos un ciclo escolar normal. Profundizando: Con nuestros protocolos de salud, hemos implementado una estrategia de varios niveles para garantizar que, incluso si un estudiante viene al plantel con COVID, no contagiará a sus compañeros de clase o maestros.
