[quote=Anonymous]While it says this may change based on new guidance, I think this is total BS. Vaccinated people do not get additional protection, for themselves or others, from wearing masks: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html. CDC also says that they don't need to send vaccinated kids home if there is a case in the classroom.

APS will continue to adjust measures for School Year 2021-22 based on latest guidance and best practices. 
                                                                  
Masks: Required in buildings and on buses
Physical distancing & classroom capacity: Normal classroom capacity
Recess: No masks required outside for recess 
Health Screening: No temperature checks; honor system symptom reporting, Isolation rooms no longer provided in schools
Contact Tracing: Positive case in classroom: Elementary: all students excluded, Secondary: students in immediate proximity excluded
Quarantine: 8 days with negative test on day 5*, Fully vaccinated individuals are exempt from quarantine, as verified by School Health
Athletics & Activities: Indoor masks required, contact tracing requirements for students and employees
Visitors & volunteers: Permitted with masks, screening and contact tracing

*Students who do not participate in the APS testing program would continue to be excluded for 14 days from the date of last exposure. [/quote]
