COVID-19 contacts outside of school would still trigger an eight- to 10-day quarantine for students. Written By: Maria Lockwood | ×
The School District of Maple will no longer require students to quarantine if they come into close contact at school with someone who tests positive for COVID-19. The Maple School Board voted unanimously for the move at a special board meeting Wednesday, May 12.
The decision only affects students who come into close contact during school or at a school-related activity, including sports. If the close contact occurred outside of school, such as through a family member or sleepover, students would be required to quarantine. Students with no symptoms would be allowed to return to school after eight days if they test negative for the virus on days 5, 6 or 7, or in 10 days with no test.

Plans for the 2021-22 school year are coming into focus for districts in Douglas County. Students can expect to receive on-site instruction five days a week, based on current projections. The need for virtual learning, however, will continue.
“In a recent survey to current full virtual families, we learned that many families, regardless of the learning plan for next year, are interested in a full virtual option for their child for the 2021-22 school (year),” Superior School District Administrator Amy Starzecki said in a Monday, May 3, email to families.
Graduates and guests will gather outside the stadium following the ceremony. In place of the annual All-Night Chemical Free After Graduation Party, the school will host a tailgate event featuring food, games and a prize giveaway for the seniors following graduation practice the morning of the ceremony.
“It is extremely important to the seniors and all the families to have this in person ceremony because hopefully this event will remind the students their achievement of graduating, despite the hardships of this pandemic year, is valued by us,” District Administrator Sara Croney said. “We as a community want to celebrate them on May 28.”
