Indian Creek's COVID-19 Policies Changing
February 18, 2022 Author: Dr. Tim Edsell, Superintendent, Indian Creek Schools
To our Indian Creek Families:
The Indiana Department of Health announced changes in COVID-19 guidance for K-12 schools based on declining cases statewide. In accordance with the Johnson County Health Department, the following changes will become effective Tuesday, February 22.
- Schools no longer will be required to conduct contact tracing or report positive cases to IDOH.
- Schools no longer will need to quarantine students who are exposed to a positive COVID-19 case.
- Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 should contact Jill Lawalin at 317.878.2108 and isolate for five days and may return on Day 6 if they have been fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication so long as symptoms are improving. Individuals should wear a mask at school through Day 10.
As we are no longer reporting Covid-19 cases to the IDOH or Johnson County Health Department, the COVID-19 Dashboard and Back-to-School Safe Re-entry Plan will be removed from the website.
Our health and wellness department will continue to monitor for symptoms and encourage testing. It does remain a federal mandate for everybody to wear a mask on the bus.
The last two years have been extremely challenging for everyone and we appreciate your patience and willingness to work with the administration.
Sincerely,
Tim Edsell, Ph.D.
NHJ Superintendent
