COVID Update: As of January 1, 2022 USD 361 stopped testing, masking, and quarantining and currently not following KDHE guidance. Quarantining, masking and testing is currently a family choice. Schools are currently following the practice of sending students home if temperatures are above 99.4. Students must be fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medications in order to return to school. Students absent for 3 or more days due to illness will need to have a doctor's note to return to school, which is current school policy. However, due to the challenges of COVID, the Dr. notes may be waived after contacting the building administrator. The waiver will be considered on a case-by-case basis. School attendance remains a key indicator of student success.
