Updated CCPS COVID Guidelines 2022

Catoosa County Public Schools will be following the most recent guidance from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) with regards to isolation and quarantines for positive persons within our school setting.

Isolation: Anyone who tests POSITIVE for COVID-19 (regardless of vaccination status) must:

1) Isolate at home for 5 days from the date symptoms first appeared or, if asymptomatic, the date of the positive test. Stay away from others in the household as much as possible during isolation.

2) After 5 days, IF you have no symptoms, or your symptoms are resolving, AND you have not had fever for more than 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, you may end isolation. If symptoms are not improving or fever has not resolved, you should continue isolating until these criteria are met.


Anyone who has been identified as a close contact to a COVID positive person (regardless of vaccination status) is not required to be quarantined by CCPS.

Parents/Guardians have the option to quarantine their child at home for 5 days from the last date of exposure to a COVID positive person. If your child develops symptoms of COVID during the quarantine and is tested, please notify the school if the result is positive.

Any students or staff waiting on COVID test results should remain at home until results are received.

Our schools are excited to welcome students back to campus and will continue to practice COVID-19 mitigation strategies such as hand washing, social distancing when possible, and staying home when sick. Thank you for your support.
