  • QUarantine Meal Distribution

    Beginning Monday, September 20, 2021, SCS Nutrition Services will provide free breakfast and lunch meals to students who are in quarantine due to a positive COVID-19 test or are deemed a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

    The meals will be distributed through a touchless drive-thru process -- the same process used for bulk meal distribution -- at each location to prioritize safety. Parents MUST have their child's PowerSchool ID to receive the meals.

    My child has been exposed to COVID-19. What happens next?

    KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOME IF...

    Your child has tested positive for COVID-19.
    Your child has had contact with someone who is positive for COVID-19.
    Your child has been told to stay out of school by the Shelby County Health Department (SCHD), SCS Contact Tracing Team, or your child's principal.

    WHEN CAN HE/SHE RETURN?

    If a student tests positive for COVID-19, he/she will not be permitted to return to the school building until the specific number of days required by the CDC/Health Department has been met, even if they do not develop symptoms.

    Once the specified time period is over, these individuals may return to school with documentation of clearance.
    For additional questions, contact your child's school.

    ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION

    If students are not permitted to return to the school building or when schools are closed, students will participate in virtual asynchronous learning (independent study).

    In some cases, additional academic arrangements may be necessary.

    ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FOR FAMILIES

    If your child is out of school due to illness, please notify the school.
    Parents should keep their contact information up-to-date with their schools to ensure they receive notifications.
    Monitoring student symptoms, wearing of masks, social distancing when possible, frequent washing of hands, the use of sanitizer, and cleaning protocols will all reduce the chances of COVID-19 passing from one person to another.
