FCS ANNOUNCES NEW GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS IDENTIFIED AS CLOSE CONTACTS TO POSITIVE COVID-19 CASES

Effective Monday, September 14th, the Floyd County Schools will follow the existing DPH administrative quarantine orders pertaining to the students that have been identified as having possible exposure to or close contacts with a student or an employee who is known to have tested positive for COVID-19, according to an FCS media release. These guidelines follow communications from the Governor’s office and the DPH. All parents/guardians should notify their school principal if they or their child develops symptoms and/or ends up with a positive test result. FCS should also be notified when a child develops symptoms or receives a positive test during a quarantine period. Information will be kept strictly confidential.
