Idaho Falls School District 91 is changing its quarantine requirements for students and staff who have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 to align with the new CDC guidance. D91 will now allow students and/or staff who have been quarantining because of close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 to return to school/work:   

• After 10 days as long as they have not experienced any symptoms while on quarantine. 
• After 7 days if they have a negative test AND have not experienced any symptoms while on quarantine. CDC advises tests may be conducted 48 hours before the end of the quarantine period in anticipation of testing delays, but the quarantine period must be at least seven days.  

The isolation period for students and/or staff who have tested positive for COVID-19 has not changed. Students and/or staff should isolate for 10 days from symptom onset in accordance with health guidance. Click here to see COVID-19 Data (Updated Dec. 2), which is updated as cases are confirmed with Eastern Idaho Public Health. D91’s COVID Operational Response Plan

We know many D91 families are struggling so we’re kicking off Purposity, an online program that connects families in need with individuals who are looking for ways to give back to their community. It’s easy! Download the Purposity app from your app store or look for Purposity on facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Search for and follow Idaho Falls School District #91. Then, watch for D91 to post the needs of our students and families. When you find a need you would like to fulfill, click the link, pay the amount and Purposity takes care of the rest and delivers the item to the school. We need 800 followers to get started so please sign up today! Thanks for supporting D91 and it’s families!
