COVID-19 EXPOSURE NOTIFICATION PROTOCOL

  • Should a positive COVID-19 case occur at school or programming, consistent with both notification requirements for other communicable diseases and legal confidentiality, Sunrise will follow PDPH regulations for exposure to a communicable disease; Sunrise staff, the school nurse, the office of student health services or employee health services will notify PDPH.

PROGRAM/SCHOOL CLOSURE PROTOCOL

  • Guidance regarding the closure or dismissal of a classroom, school and/or other Sunrise/District facility due to COVID-19 will be provided by PDPH. The decision to close or dismiss students and/or staff from any District facility does not rest with Sunrise or with the School District. PDPH will work closely with Sunrise and the District’s appointed designee(s) to make the determination that best addresses the specific circumstances. Decisions about closures will be made carefully, and with the health, safety and needs of our students and families in mind. As a situation evolves and decisions are made, communications will be sent out to all necessary stakeholders.
