This page serves as a resource for updates regard­ing Waverly’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to commu­ni­cate impor­tant updates to our fami­lies via email, and we will regu­larly post addi­tional resources on this page.

COVID Proto­col

• • Students are required to isolate for a minimum of 3 days follow­ing a posi­tive COVID test (day 0 is the day symp­toms started or the day they tested posi­tive, day 1 is the follow­ing day, etc.). After the 3 day isola­tion, students can return once they are:
    • Fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reduc­ing medica­tion (i.e., Tylenol or any medica­tion containing acetaminophen)
    • Symp­toms are mild and improving
    • AND
    • Feeling well enough to be at school.
  • They can be testing posi­tive upon return if they meet the previous criteria.
  • If your student was asymp­to­matic during the initial isola­tion period and devel­ops symp­toms later on, then the follow­ing will apply:
    • Students must isolate for a minimum of 24 hours from the day of symptom onset and they may return once they are:
      • Fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reduc­ing medica­tion (i.e., Tylenol or any medica­tion containing acetaminophen)
      • Symp­toms are mild and improving
      • AND
      • Feeling well enough to be at school.

Masking require­ments

• If your student will be return­ing before day 11 (day 0 is the day symp­toms started or the day they tested posi­tive, day 1 is the follow­ing day, etc.), they must mask through day 10.
  • Unless they have tested nega­tive twice with 24 hours in between testing, then they do not have to mask after the second negative test.
