Positive Cases in Isolation
Owasso Public Schools is following CDC and Tulsa County Health Department recommendations by requiring all students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 to remain in isolation for at least 10 days beginning on the date of the onset of symptoms. Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 must meet ALL conditions of the Return to School criteria before returning to OPS buildings:
-
24 hours fever free without the use of fever-reducing medication
-
10 days have passed since the onset of symptoms
-
Improved respiratory symptoms
Should a school be made aware of a possible COVID-19 exposure in a building, the school administrators will contact trace as was practiced during the 2020-21 school year. The end result of that contact tracing will be a notification to the appropriate parents stating that their student had close contact with an individual who has since tested positive for COVID-19. We ask that parents who receive such a notification monitor their child’s health and contact their family physician should the child develop symptoms.
Owasso Public Schools will not accept a test result from an over the counter, at-home COVID-19 test. Please seek out your family physician or visit one of the many health professionals who offer testing services for your COVID-19 testing needs.
In regard to communication regarding contact tracing:
-
If there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 with a staff member, parents of students at that school building will be notified ONLY in the event their child has had possible close contact with the affected staff member.
-
If there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 with a student, parents will be notified ONLY in the event their child has had possible close contact with the affected student.
-
If there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 with a student or staff member within an extracurricular activity, parents will be notified ONLY in the event their child has had possible close contact with the affected individual.
