EARLY RETURN FROM QUARANTINE - The standard quarantine period remains 14 days after last contact with a COVID-19 case. In accordance with SC Department of Health guidance, Aiken County Public Schools allows two options for shortened quarantines, provided that your child has none of the symptoms above. Students ending quarantine early are expected to wear a mask, practice physical distancing to the extent possible, and monitor for illness symptoms daily through (14 days following exposure).

10 Day Quarantine Option: If your child has no symptoms, they are eligible return to the classroom and athletic participation on (11 days past last exposure). A test is not required for this option.

7 Day Quarantine Option: If your child has no symptoms and provides documentation of a negative PCR or antigen test collected no sooner than 5 days after exposure, they are eligible to return to the classroom and athletic participation after completing 7 days of quarantine. Home tests and antibody tests are not accepted.

Parents of students currently quarantined can apply at least a full school day in advance for shortening option by completed this form: https://forms.gle/NC5k74SYHKvXjvZq6  and attaching an electronic copy of test results in this form.
