Frequently Asked Questions

You can reach me at  mrfitzpatric@seattleschools.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes, as long as the student does not have symptoms and is testing negative they may come to school. 

It is recommended and preferred that your student wear a mask to school and that they are COVID tested frequently following exposure to the positive person. 


No, if a student tests positive on day 6 of COVID isolation they may not return to school until day 11 following the onset of symptoms or positive test. There is no need to take a COVID test after day 10 of infection. 

Of note, many students will still be shedding the virus after 10 days. Because of this we recommend that your student wear a well fitting mask until around day 14 of infection. 


Yes, a negative test result is not required for a student to return to school. 

It is VERY likely however that students will  still be shedding the virus at day 6 therefore it is HIGHLY recommended that if they return to school they wear a well fitting mask until at least 10 days after the onset of symptoms or positive test.
