COVID-19 Daily Updates

HASD will continue to contact trace "probable cases." Contact tracing of probable cases is an aggressive safety mitigation strategy that the district is using at this time. Note: Total positive cases are being tabulated from the beginning of the school year for students learning in person.  This number includes active and resolved cases.

*The HASD COVID-19 Dashboard is data from students who are in person learners at the time of a positive case.

HASD is defining a probable case as an individual who meets symptom criteria of Covid-19 and is a household contact of a laboratory confirmed positive case.

Current Closures:

Online learning is provided during time of closure.

Information will be updated daily at 2:00 pm. Cases that come to our attention after 2:00 pm will be updated the following day. Weekend cases will be added on Monday.

Symptom Check:

COVID Symptom Checker - English

COVID Symptom Checker - Spanish

Attention Parents: Please practice the following habits to prevent further spread of the virus in schools:

• Notify the school if your child is diagnosed with COVID-19.
• Notify the school if your child had contact with someone who you know was diagnosed with COVID-19.
• Conduct the symptom check each morning and keep students home from school if they are sick.
• Should your child be tested, make sure to have your child remain home until test results are known. If there are other children in the house, they would also need to stay home until the test results are finalized. If a parent (or anyone in your house) is awaiting test results, all members of the household also need to remain home until test results are finalized.
• Encourage good habits: frequent hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, use of face coverings in public, and staying home as much as possible.

Thank you for your support as we continue to attempt to keep our schools open while keeping our students, staff, and families safe. HASD will continue to use the following practices, which CDC and DHS consider the most aggressive and best practice mitigation strategies:   

• We will continue to accept negative PCR tests.  A PCR test is considered the "gold standard" of COVID-19 testing and results are highly accurate.  HASD will not be accepting negative antigen tests to allow students' return to school who have symptoms per our District Symptom Checker. 
• 12-9-2020 Update: Recently a shortened quarantine was offered by the CDC as an alternative when mitigation measures such as strict social distancing and limited gathering can be strictly adhered to.  We will continue to use the practice of a 14-day quarantine.  It is the safest way to prevent the asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 in our current model of in-person learning.
