Indian Creek's COVID-19 Policy 2024
March 11, 2024 Author: Indian Creek Schools
Indian Creek continues to follow COVID-19 guidelines set forth by the CDC, Indiana Department of Health, and the Johnson County Health Department. If a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19, please do the following:
- When people get sick with a respiratory virus, the updated guidance recommends that they stay home and away from others. For people with COVID-19 and influenza, treatment is available and can lessen symptoms and lower the risk of severe illness. The recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication.

Our health and wellness department continues to monitor for symptoms and encourages testing.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Indiana state law requires that students have an up-to-date immunization record on file. The Indiana State Department of Health determines school immunization requirements. All state-accredited public schools must verify each student's immunization status unless a medical or religious exemption is filed with the school nurse.
