Protocols

Pasco County School District continues to follow guidelines set forth by the Center for Disease Control and the Florida Department of Health. Students and/or parents and guardians are expected to monitor their child daily for signs of infectious diseases, including COVID-19, influenza, respiratory viruses, and gastrointestinal infections using the 2023-2024 Employee Screener. An individual exhibiting symptoms should stay home and consider getting tested for COVID-19, when appropriate. 

Pasco County Schools remain committed to preventing the spread of any illness in our schools by continuing the following strategies:

• Encouraging students and staff to stay home when ill.
• Encouraging students and staff to continue appropriate hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette.
• We are maintaining daily cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surface areas.
• Continuing collaboration with the Pasco Department of Health in monitoring for school-associated outbreaks of COVID-19 and following their guidance should an outbreak occur.
• A face mask is not required and wearing one remains an individual’s choice.
