Dear Seminole Family,
Thank you for your persistent support with the Osceola School District. Thank you for partnering with OSD on the implementation of wearing masks on school premises to possibly prevent and slow the spread of the COVID viruses. Thanks are also in order to you for making Osceola School District your school of choice.
As you know, we are still in the midst of a pandemic. Cases are steadily rising among our school age students nationwide. I want to assure you that the OSD is working tirelessly to ensure that our scholars are receiving the very best service day in and day out to keep everyone safe. We would also like to commend you on your efforts in keeping students home when there has been a positive case of COVID. In our efforts to maintain a strong partnership, we are asking you to help us manage accurate attendance data for our students by contacting schools when there is a positive case. By doing this, we become aware of why your scholar is absent to ensure that days are labeled and/or coded correctly within the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s (DESE) database, as well as provide additional support to eliminate learning loss.
To continue to prevent and slow the spread of the COVID viruses within our staff and student body, we are requesting that all parents and/or guardians of on-site learners and all OSD employees notify the district’s designated Point of Contact (POC) immediately regarding the following:
-any positive COVID-19 test ,or
-exposure to someone who has tested positive
In closing, we shall get through this together. We encourage all stakeholders to mask up and continue to be an advocate for what is best for our students and the community we serve. We are a force when we work together.
Sincerely,
Dr. Toriano Green
Superintendent

Coach Landry’s PLTW/EAST classes have the capability to design, print, and troubleshoot in Live View remotely from any computer, using Dremel cloud software. This enables the students to create 3D models without having to be in the classroom. This software ensures that the students can be creative and engaged through our technology. The finished 3D printed pencil holder, designed remotely and started printing remotely. Great job to Coach Landry’s PLTW/EAST classes, keep up the great work!

Good morning all stakeholders of the Osceola School District. Please take a brief moment to review the CDC's guidelines on quarantining. We are working extremely hard to adhere to these guidelines and keep all students and staff safe:
Quarantine
Quarantine if you have been in close contact (within 6 feet of someone for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone who has COVID-19, unless you have been fully vaccinated. People who are fully vaccinated do NOT need to quarantine after contact with someone who had COVID-19 unless they have symptoms. However, fully vaccinated people should get tested 3-5 days after their exposure, even if they don’t have symptoms and wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until their test result is negative.
What to do
Stay home for 14 days after your last contact with a person who has COVID-19.
Watch for fever (100.4◦F), cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19.
If possible, stay away from people you live with, especially people who are at higher risk for getting very sick from COVID-19.
After quarantine
Watch for symptoms until 14 days after exposure.
If you have symptoms, immediately self-isolate and contact your local public health authority or healthcare provider.
You may be able to shorten your quarantine
Your local public health authorities make the final decisions about how long quarantine should last, based on local conditions and needs. Follow the recommendations of your local public health department if you need to quarantine. Options they will consider include stopping quarantine
After day 10 without testing
After day 7 after receiving a negative test result (test must occur on day 5 or later)
Isolation
Isolation is used to separate people infected with COVID-19 from those who are not infected.
People who are in isolation should stay home until it’s safe for them to be around others. At home, anyone sick or infected should separate from others, stay in a specific “sick room” or area, and use a separate bathroom (if available).
What to do
Monitor your symptoms. If you have an emergency warning sign (including trouble breathing), seek emergency medical care immediately.
Stay in a separate room from other household members, if possible.
Use a separate bathroom, if possible.
Avoid contact with other members of the household and pets.
Don’t share personal household items, like cups, towels, and utensils.
Wear a mask when around other people if able.
Learn more about what to do if you are sick and how to notify your contacts.
When You Can be Around Others After You Had or Likely Had COVID-19
Most people do not require testing to decide when they can be around others; however, if your healthcare provider recommends testing, they will let you know when you can resume being around others based on your test results.
For Anyone Who Has Been Around a Person with COVID-19
Anyone who has had close contact with someone with COVID-19 should stay home for 14 days after their last exposure to that person.
However, anyone who has had close contact with someone with COVID-19 and who meets the following criteria does NOT need to stay home.
Someone who has been fully vaccinated and shows no symptoms of COVID-19. However, fully vaccinated people should get tested 3-5 days after their exposure, even they don’t have symptoms and wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until their test result is negative.
Or
Someone who has COVID-19 illness within the previous 3 months and
Has recovered and
Remains without COVID-19 symptoms (for example, cough, shortness of breath)
I think or know I had COVID-19, and I had symptoms
You can be around others after:
10 days since symptoms first appeared and
24 hours with no fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and
Other symptoms of COVID-19 are improving*
*Loss of taste and smell may persist for weeks or months after recovery and need not delay the end of isolation
Note that these recommendations do not apply to people with severe COVID-19 or with weakened immune systems (immunocompromised).
I tested positive for COVID-19 but had no symptoms
If you continue to have no symptoms, you can be with others after 10 days have passed since you had a positive viral test for COVID-19.
If you develop symptoms after testing positive, follow the guidance above for “I think or know I had COVID-19, and I had symptoms.”
If there are any further questions please contact our District Point of Contact Mr. Charles Webster at 870-563-1865.
