[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was surprised to find out that when someone tests positive at the school, you're only informed that a positive case happened. As long as it's determined that masks were worn, if your child was in the same classroom as the positive person for 8 hours you won't know, even if they were literally sitting side by side (3-feet rule doesn't count as close contact anymore if masks are on).

I'd like to know if someone in my child's class tests positive so I can make the determination on whether to send my child in the next day or not. It's insane to me that we're being kept in the dark.

This happened yesterday. [/quote]

OK but wouldn't you want to test your kid even if it's someone in a different class? Maybe they sat together for lunch or chatted in the bathroom or hallway?[/quote]

No. Big difference between kid in their PK4 class tested positive, or even their grade because of the casual contact you mentioned, and a 5th grader whose homeroom is 2 floors up. In one case I would test and refrain from visiting anyone for 7 days; in the latter case, I would not take any special precautions.[/quote]
