The School Board on Aug. 10 reviewed COVID-19 protocols for Ray-Pec schools. At this time, face coverings are highly recommended, but not required, for all persons in all indoor settings when physical distancing cannot be maintained.

You can review the protocols.

Wearing face coverings will greatly reduce the chances that a student will be quarantined should that student be a close contact of a person who tests positive for COVID-19, per recent Centers for Disease Control protocols. Additionally, if a student or staff member is fully vaccinated, he/she will not be subject to quarantine. According to the CDC, a fully vaccinated person will need to monitor for COVID-like symptoms, get tested for COVID-19 three to five days after exposure, and wear a mask for 14 days or until a negative test is received.
