VACCINATION POLICY 

LCS has delayed the implementation of the COVID vaccination mandate for students 12 years+ to align with LACDPH, CDPH and LAUSD.

The vaccination policy for LCS staff is still in place across all sites. LCS is continually monitoring the public health guidance and will revisit the policy as necessary.

IF YOUR CHILD TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID

If your child has tested positive:

 

1. Notify the office manager at your child's campus 

2. Following the recommendation of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, your student will need to isolate for 10-days from the day they tested positive for COVID-19. The Home Isolation Instructions can be found here. If they develop any other symptoms or if they worsen, please seek medical advice and further guidance. 

 

You have a couple of options depending on how your student is feeling:

​

A. Full 10-Day Isolation Period: Your student may return to regular activities as early as Day 11 if their symptoms have improved and do not have a fever in the previous 24 hours prior to their return (without the aid of fever reducing medication). During the isolation period, your child is unable to attend school in-person.

 

B. Reduction of the Isolation Period: They are able to reduce the isolation period to a minimum of 5 days - and return to school as soon as Day 6 of their isolation period, if the following requirements are met: 

• At least 5 days have passed after their symptoms first appeared or first tested positive if they’re asymptomatic, AND

• Their symptoms have improved and they are fever-free without the aid of medication, AND

• They have a negative COVID test (antigen preferably) collected on day 5 or later. If an at-home antigen test is given, then you must write the name of the student and date in which the test was given and take a picture to show upon arrival back at school.

​​

If it hasn’t been at least 5 days since your symptoms first appeared, OR you have an ongoing fever, OR you are unable to get tested and show a negative result after day 5, then you will need to complete the full 10 days of isolation.  

 

Lastly, when your child returns to campus, please be sure that they follow the guidelines of frequent hand washing, wearing a medical grade mask.
