If your child is sick or has COVID-19 symptoms, even if vaccinated, DO NOT send them to school and contact your child's physician for further instruction.
As a courtesy, if someone in your household is awaiting COVID-19 test results, please keep your child home until a negative test result is confirmed.
Isolation
LBS policy on what to do if your child tests positive for COVID-19 (regardless of vaccination status):
- The student must isolate for 10 days following the start of symptoms or Covid-positive test result, AND
- be 24-hours free of fever or other symptoms.
Quarantine
LBS policy on what to do if your child comes in close contact with a COVID-positive person:
Students and staff who ARE fully vaccinated (with proof of vaccination on file at LBS) must quarantine, however, their quarantine may be shortened if a negative COVID test result is received. This test must be administered no less than 3-5 days after exposure.
Students and staff who are NOT fully vaccinated must quarantine for 10 days and should be tested. These students and staff who are close contacts can return to school when both of the following conditions are met: at least 10 days have passed since the last contact with the infected person, and no symptoms developed during the 10-day quarantine.
Close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of a person with COVID-19 infection for a combined total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period (regardless of mask use).
Vaccinations
We are not requiring staff or students to get vaccinated, but do hope you will all continue to be diligent in your own safety and that of others.
To qualify under the "fully vaccinated" status, your child's proof of vaccination must be on file at Lanakila Baptist Schools. If your child has been vaccinated and you would like to let us know, you may send us a copy of their vaccination record.
Be aware that as more schools begin requiring vaccinations for ILH Athletics, this may be something we also require for our athletes. We will let you know if this becomes the case.
