As of Tuesday, February 1, 2022, Arkansas schools are no longer required to quarantine close contacts to COVID-19 positive cases. ONLY those who are positive for COVID-19 or who are symptomatic must quarantine. This means that students and/or staff who are not symptomatic may return to school on Wednesday, February 2, 2022. Contact tracing of COVID-19 cases will no longer be in place. This also means that Test to Stay will no longer be necessary. Quarantine guidelines for COVID positive cases will remain the same (5 days quarantine then 5 days of mask-wearing upon return). Masks remain optional for all other individuals. If you have any questions, you may still reach out to our Covid-19 Point of contact Nurse Emily Delgado at 870-291-0392. Thank you.
