Reporting Definitions
 

Confirmed Positive & Probable Cases: The Mid-Michigan District Health Department defines a confirmed case as a positive result from a PCR COVID-19 Test and a probable case as a positive rapid test. 

Contact Tracing: A strategy for slowing the spread of disease in which public health workers communicate with infectious people to identify their contacts. They then follow up with those contacts to provide guidance on how to quarantine themselves and what to do if they develop symptoms of disease.

Quarantine: The practice of keeping someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others. Quarantine helps prevent spread of disease that can occur before a person knows they are sick or if they are infected with the virus without feeling symptoms. People in quarantine must stay home (usually 10-14 days), separate themselves from others, monitor their health, and follow directions from their state or local health department.

Isolation: The practice of separating people infected with the virus (those who are sick with COVID-19 and those with no symptoms) from people who are not infected. People who are in isolation (usually for 10-14 days) must stay home until it’s safe for them to be around others. In the home, anyone sick or infected must separate themselves from others by staying in a specific “sick room” or area and using a separate bathroom (if available).

Close Contact: A person who was within 6 feet of a person infected with COVID-19 for more than 15 minutes with or without a mask. Examples of close contacts include individuals who were close to a person who is infected with COVID-19 by providing care to them at home, sharing a living space, having direct physical contact with them (touched, hugged or kissed them), and sharing eating or drinking utensils. People may also be close contacts if they were somehow exposed to droplets from an infected person (sneezed or coughed on).

Precautions 

As a precaution, we will be disinfecting applicable areas of the school. This may include spraying classrooms, hallways, locker rooms, and common areas, as needed, with a sanitizer, along with other methods of disinfection.

Recommended Actions
 
  • Wear a mask (covering mouth and nose) when around people with whom you do not live.
  • Practice social distancing (maintaining a distance of 6 feet apart).
  • Practice frequent hand washing (using soap for 20 seconds or hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol).
  • Follow capacity restrictions of social gatherings.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or with the inside of your elbow and immediately wash your hands.
  • Stay home if you are sick; you can also get tested.
  • Answer the phone if the health department contacts you, as a contact tracer may be trying to reach you with important information.
Additional Information 

This information does not mean you should quarantine or isolate. Those members of the School Community who were or are suspected to have been in Close Contact with a School Associated Case will be notified by the Mid-Michigan District Health Department.

Thank you for understanding that, due to medical privacy laws, we are not able to release the names of the individuals with COVID-19. We will continue to communicate changes and updates with you.  With your participation, we believe we can maintain a safe environment while also providing quality education.

If you have any questions, contact the Mid-Michigan District Health Department. For answers to your COVID-19 questions, please call the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Hotline at 888-535-6136 or visit Michigan.gov/Coronavirus.

 

Montcalm Area ISD Mitigation Strategies for 2021 - 2022

As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues, it is important for us to share with our staff, students, and families the COVID-19 Mitigation Strategies we will have in place for this school year.  We have received the CDC’s Guidance for K-12 Schools and recommendations from Mid-Michigan District Health Department (MMDHD) to help prevent the spread of disease.  Among their recommended strategies are vaccination, mask use, social distancing, contact tracing, quarantine and isolation, hand washing, cleaning and disinfecting, increased ventilation and air flow, respiratory etiquette, and self-monitoring for symptoms. 

At MAISD, the health and safety of our students and staff is one of our single most important responsibilities.  Therefore, in an effort to help prevent the spread of disease and allow in person learning to continue as long as possible, MAISD will abide by the following strategies during the 2021-2022 school year.
