Press release from the Novato Unified School District: lbenjamin September 7th, 2021 9.7.2021 NUSD Covid Update – 9.3.201 Clarification Dear NUSD Community, As a follow up to our Covid Update on Friday, September 3, 2021, we want to provide a couple of clarifications based on some of the emails we received.  We appreciate the feedback and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. NUSD will accept the results from rapid antigen tests that families supply for their student. The parent/guardian must send a screenshot of the results to principal or health liaison to confirm a negative result. Clarification:  Returning with a negative test only applies to students/staff with symptoms or in quarantine, and not those who have tested positive. Clarification on when Students Test Positive for COVID-19: Inform school immediately Full at-home isolation for ten (10) days from the time symptoms started (or date of positive test) Students can return to school when they are feeling better AND fever-free for more than 24 hours without fever-reducing medications. The Covid-19 Scenario Infographic for Supervised TK-12 School Exposure have been updated. They can be found here in English and Spanish. This is a reminder that NUSD schools are limiting visitors/parents/guardians on campus (#29 of the Marin County School Guidelines) to minimize contact with students and staff. Schools are restricting parents/guardians from entering the school, especially during drop off and pick up.  If a parent/guardian is invited to be on campus, we ask that they wear a mask. NUSD has had 16 reported positive Covid-19 cases with potential exposures across the district in a population of approximately 7,392 individuals. This represents .2% not the 002% mistakenly reported. Again, thank you again for your feedback. If you have any questions, please let us know.
