Notification Procedures
In addition to the chart listing weekly in-school positive cases:
- GENERAL NOTIFICATION
WSSD will send a general notification to the parents/guardians and staff members in a building whenever there is a potential COVID-19 exposure. (sample notification) - INDIVIDUAL NOTIFICATION
If students and/or staff are deemed to have been in close contact with a potential COVID-19 exposure, an additional notification (phone call and follow-up email) will be sent to those individuals. This will be sent close to the time the general notification e-mail has been sent. (sample parent/guardian notification) (sample staff notification)
CONTRACT TRACING
If a student or staff member who tests positive was in our building during the contagious period, we will work with the Chester County Health Department to support contact tracing.Contact tracing includes:
- Identifying those individuals who were in our buildings or on our buses and were less than six feet from the COVID-19 positive person for more than 15 minutes.
- Please note: It is important to remind our students to remain socially distant from others even when wearing masks, during recess, and while waiting for the bus.

Notification of WSSD Nurses
We ask you to notify our school nurses when you have a positive COVID test result or you have been exposed to someone who has a positive COVID test result. Why? Because we need to contact the Chester County Health Department. The CCHD will ultimately receive the information about positive COVID cases, but the sharing is not instantaneous. There have been times when we have been the first entity to notify the CCHD about a positive case. This notification allows them to begin their contact tracing sooner.

Quarantine Information
If your child must quarantine due to a close contact at school, we will provide you with the Close Contact Information Sheet outlining the steps to follow. Your child’s building principal will work with you regarding your child’s plan for instruction. Unless notified otherwise, the siblings of students who have been advised to quarantine are permitted to attend school. Those siblings were not in direct contact with the COVID-19 positive person.

Symptom Monitoring Tracker
You will be asked to monitor your child for symptoms of COVID-19. These symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, abnormal sense of taste and smell, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, congestion, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If your child develops any of these symptoms, please keep them home, and contact your physician.
Please remember to screen your child before leaving for school in the morning using the Symptom Monitoring Tracker. This should be completed on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the school day. Children who exhibit symptoms should stay at home; doing so will help to keep our classrooms and schools open. If your child develops symptoms while at school, you will be contacted to pick up your child and will receive the Symptomatic Student Information Sheet.
