COVID-19

Families should notify covid@ssesh.org if their child is exposed to or tests positive for any communicable disease, including COVID-19.

COVID Exposure

St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, Houston, encourages compliance with CDC Guidance on Exposure: What to Do If You Were Exposed to COVID-19

If the School is informed of a positive COVID case, this is what the families in the affected homeroom class can expect.

  • Email. An email will be sent from email@renweb.com. The email will provide: (1) that an individual in your student’s homeroom class has tested positive for COVID, (2) the last date that the individual was on campus (i.e., last exposure to someone with COVID), (3) a link to the relevant CDC guidelines for your consideration (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/if-you-were-exposed.html), and (4) any additional information that may be helpful to you as you make decisions for your child.
  • Text. A text will be sent from 31706 asking you to check your Inbox for an email regarding COVID exposure.
  • Generally, only one set of communications (text and email) will be sent for the first COVID case within a 10-day period (only) within a homeroom classroom.

COVID Isolation

St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, Houston, REQUIRES compliance with CDC Guidance on Isolation: Isolation and Precautions for People with COVID-19

Families should notify covid@ssesh.org if their student is exposed to or tests positive for any communicable disease, including COVID. Please include in the email a photo of the test result as well as the day your student first experienced COVID symptoms. You will receive an email with a day count for isolation purposes and the criteria for readmission to campus. We will also be including masking recommendations. If recommended, masks should be worn indoors as feasible by students in Primary and above.
