Dear Shamokin Area School District Families:

The CDC recently updated their recommended isolation and quarantine guidance for those that test positive for COVID-19 and those that are considered to be a close contact. The updated guidance is found in our Health and Safety plan that is located on our District website. This guidance will go into effect immediately.

The CDC has indicated that there will be additional guidance for more specific settings, including schools, released in the near future. The PA Department of Health will review and update the guidance accordingly if and when CDC makes any further adjustments. Please note that this is a very fluid situation. We appreciate your patience as we work through these changes together.

Sincerely,

Chris J. Venna

Superintendent
