TCAPS Safe Start Plan
COVID-19 Procedures & Information
Procedures for COVID-19 Positive Cases
Please report your positive test result to your school attendance line or main office. Students and staff members who have tested positive for COVID-19 are to isolate for five days. Isolation may end after five days if the individual has been fever free for 24 hours and symptoms are improving.
Secondly, you can also report your positive case to the Grand Traverse County Health Department. This link also provides free testing locations. TCAPS also has home tests available for free at every building. To receive an at-home test, please contact your school front office.
For full information about isolation, precautions to follow when positive, and a calculator to better understand your isolation dates, see the CDC website.
Student/Staff Member Privacy and Confidentiality
Please remember that there are many reasons that students or staff members may not be at school or may return to school after being out. We must all do our part to avoid gossip and speculation to ensure that all students and staff members feel welcomed and supported, especially those who may be absent or who are returning to school after an absence.
Reminder About COVID-19 in the Community
Additionally, parents are asked to continue to reinforce with students the importance of the additional cleaning and safety procedures TCAPS has implemented this school year, including mask wearing and frequent hand washing/sanitizing, as each adds an additional layer of protection against the virus. Because there continues to be COVID-19 present in the community, parents should assume that at any time there could be a student or staff member in their school community who may be quarantining or self-isolating. Families should take all precautions deemed necessary on a daily basis.

February 17, 2022: Updated Masking Information
Beginning Friday, February 18, TCAPS will recommend, but not require, masks be worn in all TCAPS facilities. As we prepare for this change, I am providing the following points of clarity. If you have additional questions beyond what is noted, please contact your building principal for assistance.
- All TCAPS building and classroom signage will “recommend” individuals wear masks, regardless of vaccination status.
- Masks remain a federal requirement for all individuals on all school buses and Head Start programming.
- KN95 and paper masks will continue to be available for all students, staff and visitors who choose to wear them.
- Mask shaming will not be tolerated and should be reported to building administration. Normal processes for disciplinary measures will be followed.
- Parent teacher conferences will be available either in person or virtually, to best accommodate the needs of all families.
- Volunteers may enter buildings with prior administrative approval.
- All cleaning and safety protocols will continue, including hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes in classrooms, and the use of Clorox 360 machines.
- The District will continue with the COVID-19 notification and daily reporting processes in conjunction with the Grand Traverse County Health Department.
- The District will continue with daily monitoring of student attendance rates, staff attendance including substitute fill rates, and COVID data.
- The Superintendent will continue regular communication with the Board of Education.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate the ongoing challenges that coincide with teaching and learning during this unprecedented experience.

MDHHS School Outbreak Reporting
In its September 14, 2020 press release, the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) announced it will begin reporting outbreak information by school building. Data will be collected from 45 local health departments across the state weekly. An outbreak is defined as two or more cases with a link by place and time indicating a shared exposure outside of a household.
The information will be posted on Michigan's Coronavirus website each Monday at 3 p.m., and will include K-12, college and university school name, address, number of cases and if the cases involved staff, students or both. Students or staff exposed to COVID-19 outside the school building and are not thought to have spread the virus in the school due to quarantine or self-isolation are not included in the data.
