COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Infected people have had a wide range of symptoms reported – from mild symptoms to severe illness. (source: CDC)

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19 and should stay home according to the Symptoms Decision Tree: 

Oceanside Unified School District is committed to the education, health and safety of all our students. In the event that an individual or their class needs to quarantine due to COVID-19 related circumstances, there is a short-term independent study option in place to support continued learning. 

Since the start of the school year, attendance in OUSD schools has averaged 92% each day. Students impacted by quarantine typically miss no more than 4-8 instructional school days. 

Students who need to quarantine will be offered independent study so they can maintain academic readiness. Participation in Short-Term Independent Study is voluntary for families, however your signature on the independent study form initiates the process should a student or class need to enter into quarantine.  

A form was sent home during the week of 9.6.21, entitled, “Short-Term Independent Study Master Agreement.” Please return it to your student’s school. 

We thank you for your time and consideration.
