Dear Parents of Fern Bacon Middle School,

Due to the absence of office staff, you are receiving this message as a general notice of Covid.  Your child may or may not be a close contact. If so, your child would have received a hard copy of the email below:  

Subject : Exposure Notice to Students Identified as Close Contacts within a Classroom

Dear Parent & Guardian of Fern Bacon Middle School,

The health and safety of our students, staff and community are our top priority. This notice is to inform you that an individual in your student’s classroom has tested positive for COVID-19. Due to the high volume of cases SCUSD is currently experiencing, all school exposures are being considered potential close contacts and are required to meet the quarantine guidelines listed below. Their date of exposure was: FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 2022

Date reported to school site was: MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 2022

Below are the available options for this close contact exposure at school: 

1.Fully Vaccinated Student – Masked or Not Masked: If your student is fully vaccinated or has tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 90 days, and remains symptom free they are exempt from quarantine.  They may continue to attend school. If you have not reported your student’s vaccination status, please provide that here:   https://www.scusd.edu/reportvaccine. Otherwise, your child will continue to be tested as your student’s documentation is not yet recorded in our system. 

2. Non-Vaccinated Student – Consented for Testing: If your student was  masked at school, you have consented to testing, and they remain symptom free, they may continue to attend school with the following modified quarantine conditions: 

COVID-19 testing on a weekly basis during routine surveillance testing

Remain symptom-free

Do not participate in extracurricular activities (including sports) until day 8.Students may attend after school programs located on our sites.

3. Non-Vaccinated Student – No Consent for COVID-19 Testing OR Unmasked Exposure:  If your student does not have consent for COVID-19 testing or was  not masked when exposed (i.e. at mealtime), they must quarantine at home. They may return to school on Day 11: THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2022

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Students who have reported status of full vaccination may still have access to testing and regular testing is encouraged.

Others in your household do not need to quarantine. 

Monitor your student for any COVID-19 symptoms for 14 days. If they develop any symptoms and/or test positive, keep them home, get them tested and notify school staff immediately.

You may access free COVID-19 testing through your medical provider, Mon-Fri at the Serna Center from 12-3:30pm or Albert Einstein Middle School from 3-6:30pm (on days school is in session), or at a Sacramento Public Health community test site. 

Stay Safer,

Mary Coronado
