You will NOT send your child to school in-person if they tested positive for or are showing any COVID-19 symptoms.

Notify the school of your child’s testing positive for, diagnosis of, or exposure to COVID-19. Contact for reporting: EDavis@GALACleveland.org, (216) 413-6244

The school is required to report positive COVID-19 cases amongst students and staff to local health department/s. Because contact tracing is the best way to identify those who may be at risk for exposure, you agree to cooperate in the health department’s and school’s inquiry.
6.
Cooperate with the school in safety screenings, such as taking temperatures upon entering the school building.
7.
Cooperate with the school in an appropriate plan for your child’s absence if needed, including quarantining and isolation, and a plan for their safe return to school in person.
