HPMS COVID PRECAUTIONS
REVISED 12/19/22 - most recent update
Positive case in the school:
-
Person who tests positive -10-day isolation from onset of symptoms
-
CDC has removed the recommendation to quarantine, except in high-risk congregate settings. HPMS is following the CDC’s guideline, and we will no longer require a 7 day quarantine. *
-
Universal Masking in the school for 10 days following a positive case.
*HPMS reserves the right to reinstate the 7-day quarantine should it be warranted.
Masks - Choice when CDC level in Ramsey County is LOW: Toddler & Children's House families choose whether their child wears a mask. Staff have that choice as well.
Universal Masking will take place when:
-
Medium and High Levels in Ramsey County
-
High level in one or more surrounding counties: Dakota, Hennepin, Washington
Testing required if:
-
HPMS follows the MDH Testing Recommendations (attached);
-
a family travels;
-
any family member is symptomatic: (fever (but not always), runny nose, coughing, sore throat, headaches, muscle pain and fatigue). Test even if you have been vaccinated and/or had a prior COVID-19 infection;
-
after holiday breaks (spring break, summer break, etc);
-
Refer to the MDH testing recommendations for a full list.
(HPMS has a supply of at-home tests to give families if needed)
Note:
We will continue temperature screening at drop-off.
