Return Options from Covid Close Contact

To Triton Central Parents/Guardians: Effective immediately, NWCSD will make revisions to its social distancing parameters in specified instructional areas and in the Return to School from Quarantine options available to students and staff. Specifically, classroom teachers will be altering student seating in specified classroom areas to maintain 6 feet of distance where possible. Those changes are driven by an effort to reduce the number of students identified as a close contact while attempting to have a minimal impact on instructional practices. The focus of those efforts will primarily be at the middle and high school level. Student seating arrangements at the elementary will remain unchanged at this time. Our local experience from last school year revealed that the vast majority of students identified as a close contact did not later develop into COVID positive cases as a result of that initial contact. It is with that in mind, that the NWCSD’s Return to School from Quarantine Options will be revised to the following: NWCSD Quarantine Return to School Options: 1) Completion of 14 day Quarantine period as assigned by Nurse Tandy. 2)Quarantine can end after Day 10 if no symptoms are reported. Observation of mandatory masking and social distancing criteria during days 11 through 14. 3)Quarantine can end after Day 7 if a diagnostic specimen test is negative and no symptoms are reported. Observation of mandatory masking and social distancing criteria during days 8 through 14. Utilization of Options 2 or 3 requires prior approval and ongoing communication with Nurse Tandy. This change is effective immediately and applies to all students or staff who are currently quarantined. Nurse Tandy may be reached by phone at (463) 222-7493. As we have learned throughout the pandemic, the situation is fluid and requires NWCSD as an organization to be flexible and nimble. We will continue to review our practices and adjust in ways that are prudent as the situation locally and statewide develops. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Mr. Chris Hoke Superintendent NWCSD of Shelby County

Student pick up procedures: You will need to use the 4-way stop and enter the second driveway on your right. We will be having our car rider line for two lines to increase capacity inside of our lot to help keep cars from blocking in our buses and holding up our bus routes. When it is your turn to exit the dual lanes please alternate left to right to enter the line to pick up your student. Once you are in the single pick up line by the curb please pull forward as much as possible. Please be careful as a car may be passing you on the left if your student is not ready and waiting on you at the end of the day. Please be courteous and patient with all involved as we are trying to make our car rider line more efficient for everyone.

Student drop off procedures: You will need to use the 4-way stop and enter the second driveway on your right. We are asking that you help your student or students get organized before you make your way to school so that all you have to do is pull into the unloading zone and allow your student to exit your vehicle. Please pull all the way forward to the handicap unloading ramp to drop your student off quickly and wait for the line to move towards the exit. Please do not try to pass the cars in front of you. We have had multiple accidents over the years due to being impatient and pulling around the car in front of you. Thank you for helping us keep our car rider efficient and safe!

Tigers, Please plan on sending a water bottle with your student everyday as our bubblers are shut off. Students will be able to use the bottle fillers and have water with them in the classrooms. We want to make sure we have proper Tiger Nation Hydration!
