Reminder regarding PCSSD Covid Protocol:
STUDENT POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

urgent care, doctor's office); no home test will be accepted.
○ Email: covidcontact@pcssd.org
● If a student tests positive for COVID-19, he/she must isolate for at least five (5) days.
● On day six (6), he/she may return to school if:
○ no symptoms or symptoms are resolving; and
○ no fever for 48 hours (without medication).
● After five (5) days of isolation, it is strongly recommended that he/she continue to wear a
mask around others through the 10th day from testing positive.
