COVID-19 Isolation Period & Testing Practices Update
Testing Availability
The district will now be testing using Goodside Health tests. In order to be tested, your child must be registered each time they test at gsh.co/dshs-martisd.
The district does not have the ability to conduct mass testing at this time. Students will only be tested if symptomatic and determined to possibly have COVID-19 by the school nurse, or if they are a household contact wanting to attend school. All others should contact their family doctor for testing.
School COVID-19 tests are rapid tests and have not been found to be as accurate as PCR tests. When in doubt, please contact your family doctor for more thorough testing.
Isolation Periods
If a student tests positive for COVID-19
Stay home and isolate for 10 days.
If you have fever or your symptoms remain severe, continue to stay home until your fever resolves
If a student has a household member test positive for COVID-19, the guardian of that student has 2 options:
Option 1: Quarantine student for 5 days from last exposure.
Classwork will be made available to the student to complete while quarantined. Tutorials may be required when the student returns if there is an academic need.
Option 2: Have student continue to attend school.
Student must be separated from the positive case immediately & rapid test each morning for 5 consecutive days before attending class.
*If day 5 lands on a Saturday or Sunday the student must test on Monday.
Testing will be conducted every morning at the front of the high school from 7:30am-8:00am. Please pull up and stay in your car while testing is conducted.
Athletes that have morning practice will be given special instructions.
