COVID-19 Reporting Process

If your student has been in close contact (as defined by the CDC below) or receives a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, this information must be reported to Linda Johnson, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. 

Close contact is defined as someone who was within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more within 2 days prior to illness onset, regardless of whether the contact was wearing a mask.

If your student receives a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, per ODE guidance, they will need to “Isolate at home for at least 10 days since test date, and 24 hours fever free, and any symptoms improved.”

If your student is showing any symptoms, please do not have them come to campus or join in-person activities. It is critical that we each continue to take measures to protect ourselves and our community against COVID-19, including following the CDC guidelines: 

• Wear a high-quality mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others.
• Stay 6 feet apart from others who don’t live with you.
• Avoid crowds.
• Avoid poorly ventilated indoor spaces.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.

HVAC 

• We have MERV-13 filters at our Main Campus. These filters are changed quarterly per OHSA requirements. MERV-13 filters are suitable for superior commercial, general surgery, hospital rooms, and smoking lounges.The Satellite Campus HVAC control system was upgraded in 2019. The upgrade included full balancing of the system following the installation of 78 Carrier CCN VAV controllers and 78 T-55 wall sensors. The ventilation system is set to 40% open to outside air. MERV 13 filters have been installed. There is now quarterly maintenance on the system.
• Classrooms and counselor’s offices are all equipped with portable Azeus air purifiers which include HEPA filters and UV lighting.
