[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kids was doing in person K (at a private school). Her teacher tested positive for covid. Then kids had to stay home for two weeks. It has been pandemonium. Parents are quarantining. Some tested positive at least 5 classmates positive not sure if it's from the teacher. Everyone is upset. If I could go back and do it again, I would not do this. The stress and disruption are far worse than having kept her home.

My kid just came out of quarantine because another kid in his class tested positive.  10-day quarantine and was also tested at the end -- negative.  All the kids and the teachers were negative.  Sure, it was a bummer to switch back to remote for a while, but it was not pandemonium.  The school nurse called about the quarantine and gave us clear instructions and answered our questions.  The govt contact tracing program also followed up.  There have been about a dozen plus positive cases (caught in weekly testing) but zero cases of in school transmission -- i.e, no one who had to quarantine because of school contact with a positive case later tested positive or developed symptoms.

There isn't going to be a school nurse or weekly testing or even temperature checks in Fairfax County. Our school health aide was awful before this. My child isn't returning to school anyway, but I do not think it will go as well as you described for all schools. [/quote]
