From the Department of Public Instruction (DPI):

Going forward, school administrators, staff, and families should refer to the CDC's Operational Guidance for K12 Schools for information on how to lower the risk of COVID-19.

Davie County continues to adhere to the most recent CDC guidelines regarding COVID-19. This page is to provide parents and students with processes and procedures related to our COVID-19 response. As always, those who have a communicable disease should remain at home.

Beginning October 5, 2022:

• COVID absences will not generally impact athletic eligibility or exam exemptions at the High School level.
• In order for an absence to be officially excused due to COVID-19, students will need an official test from one of the options outlined HERE.
• Precautionary absences due to exposure will NOT be excused.
• More information on isolation parameters can be found HERE.

We believe students learn best when they are present in our classrooms every day! DCS is committed to minimizing and preventing the spread of communicable diseases in our schools. We highly encourage those with symptoms to seek appropriate care and applicable tests.

These materials include:

• StrongSchools Frequently Asked Questions
• K12 COVID-19 Testing Program Guidance
• How to handle Presumptive Cases and Possible Exposure
• Procedures for Response to COVID-19 Cases in K12 Schools, and
• Vaccine Operational Guidance for Schools. 

These documents will provide additional information to help schools operationalization the recommended actions in the CDC Guidance. All resources are available on the NCDHHS Guidance Website.
