[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bigger issue is that it’s been over a week since 11/11 and still no word from SFS?  This is borderline negligent. [/quote]

You need to reread the SFS protocol. There is nothing there that I can find that says the school will notify anyone about positive tests, nor should they.  That is the job of the health department in contact tracing.  [/quote]

Ask the parents of kids who had classes with the infected student and had to figure out amongst themselves who might have had contact. this is a massive fail by the school, the protocol is insufficient. safety AND confidence are key if this is going to work[/quote]

Again, if DC Health determines your child is at risk of exposure, you will be notified. If you are not notified, your child s not considered to be a direct contact and at risk. There’s no need to be ferreting out info...if you need to know something, you will. [/quote]
I think what you’re missing - and what parents are wondering - is whether they will be informed if their child was sitting in classrooms with someone who’s infected. Depending on how many classes they have together, they could have been in the same closed room for several hours. Is the school telling the District “there was no close contact” simply because the school protocol is that they are always supposed to be 6’ apart?  If so, then no one in the classroom is getting contacted. I’d be pretty pissed if that is the school’s approach. But having heard nothing from the school, I’m left to wonder what their approach is.
