COVID-19 Quarantine Guidelines for K-12 Classroom Setting

8/30/2021
Parents and Guardians,

I would like to review quarantine requirements from Fairfield Department of Health and Ohio Department of Health provide families with information to inform decision making about having your children wear masks:

1. If a student is vaccinated, Quarantine is not necessary but the student should wear a mask for:
   a. 14 days without a COVID test
   b. 7 days with a negative PCR or Antigen COVID test collected on day 5 or after. 

2. If a student is consistently wearing a mask and at least 3 feet from the person testing positive, Quarantine is not necessary. The student should wear a mask for:
   a. 14 days without a COVID test
   b. 7 days with a negative PCR or Antigen COVID test collected on day 5 or after. 

3. If a student is unvaccinated and not wearing a mask, Quarantine is required for:
   a. 10 days AT HOME without a COVID test
   b. 7 days AT HOME with a negative PCR or Antigen COVID test collected on day 5 or after. 

I cannot emphasize enough for students that are eligible to get vaccinated to get vaccinated. For those unvaccinated, I cannot emphasize the importance of wearing a mask consistently. The decisions you make as parents will directly impact potential quarantine of your children and the amount of school they will miss. 

Best Regards,
Will Kirby

A Note from the Cafeteria

Dear Families of the Walnut Township Local Schools,

As you and your child(ren) may have noticed, our cafeteria menus at Walnut Township Local Schools have been undergoing frequent substitutions.  Many school districts in the State of Ohio and around the country, as well as many of your local retailers and restaurants, have been experiencing the effect of production and distribution shortages.  The short notice adjustments are a direct result of these shortages at different points of the supply chain.

Our cafeteria staff have been working diligently to prepare our students with nutritious meals to the best of their abilities while working with our food and supply distributors to alleviate the pressures created by these shortages. 

We want to assure that each student at Walnut Township Local Schools can receive ONE FREE BREAKFAST and ONE FREE LUNCH per day.

We THANK YOU for your patience as our cafeteria menus are SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  We are trying to find the most acceptable substitutions each day.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact, Karen Reedy, Cafeteria Supervisor at 740-467-1144 or kreedy@walnuttsd.org
