Overview

  • The Richmond County School System works daily to ensure the health and well-being of our students and staff by developing, implementing, and delivering school health services throughout the year. Occasionally, extraordinary efforts are required to meet particular challenges, such as the recent concerns about coronavirus (COVID-19).

     

    We are currently following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH), the Georgia Department of Education, and other local, state, and federal agencies. This page has been established to provide resources and communications from the system to our community.

    CDC Isolation Guidance for positive COVID-19 staff and student cases: 

      • Regardless of vaccination status: CDC now recommends isolation for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days.

    CDC Quarantine Guidance for COVID-19 staff and student exposure: 

      • Unvaccinated or more than six months since second vaccine dose and not boosted: CDC now recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days.

      • Vaccinated with booster shot: CDC recommends no need to quarantine the following exposure and wear a mask for 10 days after exposure. 

     

     

    If you or your child experiences any COVID symptoms, is awaiting coronavirus test results or has been directed to self-isolate, please do not report to school. If you have questions or experience symptoms, please notify your school immediately.
