Jordan School District will be providing a dashboard that provides enrollment, number of cases and percentage information at covid19.jordandistrict.org.  It will be available during the first week of school, starting Aug. 16, 2021.

Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 should:

• Stay at home for 5 days from the day you were tested, even if you don’t have symptoms or feel sick.

• You can leave your house after 5 days if your symptoms have improved (fever-free without medicine for at least 24 hours).

• It is recommended you wear a mask around others for the 5 days after your home isolation.

Anyone exposed to COVID-19:

• People 18 and older who have had their booster dose or are recently vaccinated do not need to quarantine at home.

  • These individuals can continue to go to work and participate in activities; however, the CDC recommends wearing a mask for the 10 days after exposure.

• People younger than 18 who are up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccinations don't need to quarantine at home. However, the CDC recommends they wear a mask for the 10 days after their exposure.

• People of all ages who are not vaccinated should quarantine at home for 5 days from the day they were exposed. They can end quarantine after 5 days as long as they don’t have any symptoms.

-OR-

• The CDC says students may attend school so long as they wear a mask at school for the 10 days after their exposure.

At this time, we ask everyone to be extra vigilant by following recommendations to prevent further spread of COVID-19 in the school and community. Taking extra precautions will help in efforts to keep students and staff safe and avoid a “Test to Stay” event.

You can monitor COVID-19 case counts at all schools in the District by going to our dashboard, which will continue to be updated daily. The COVID-19 data dashboard can be found at covid19.jordandistrict.org/dashboard/Opens in a new window.

• “Test-to-Play” - There are no “test-to-play” protocols in place for extracurricular activities.

  • Schools with 1,500 or more students have 2% of their students test positive for COVID-19.

  • Schools with fewer than 1,500 students have 30 students test positive for COVID-19.

  • All students must “test-to-stay” if they wish to remain at school, even those who are fully vaccinated.

  • All students who chose not to “test-to-stay” will be required to stay home for 10 days.
