SJCS Safety & Health Protocols: 

October 2022 Updates per the WA Department of Health
​​
  • Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate at home for 5 days. If symptoms improve and they have had no fever for the past 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications, students and staff can come back to school and are encouraged to test before returning. 
  • Students and staff returning to school after isolation should wear a well-fitted mask from days 6 to 10. Individuals returning to school from isolation should also remain masked for sports and other extracurricular activities. 
  • Students and staff who test positive after 5 days of isolation must stay at home for the full 10-day isolation period. 
  • Schools must inform students, families, and staff when there are outbreaks in school. Schools are no longer required to directly notify high-risk students or staff. We will communicate outbreaks to affected families via email.
  • Close contacts of a positive Covid case may attend school, but should monitor for symptoms and test regularly; wearing a mask is preferable but not mandatory
  • Volunteers, employees, and indoor contractors are no longer required to be vaccinated against Covid-19 or have a medical or religious exemption.

Please note, requirements from the State Department of Health and Archdiocese of Seattle may change throughout the year. We keep our school information as updated as possible, but please watch our email communication for the most current updates.
