What is DPS doing to try to prevent the spread of Covid-19? 

A to Z: DPS's Covid-19 Preventative Measures for 2021-2022

What if I have a sick student or he/she has been identified as a close contact? 

Updated DTCC Protocol:

Step 1: Notify the principal immediately

Step 2: Fill out the DTCC Contact Tracing Form 

Step 3: Stay home and wait to be contacted by the DTCC Covid response team. They will provide the student with next steps. (Please note that due to the number of cases, this could take 24-48 hours)

Step 4: Notify all teachers and instructors that you have activated the Covid-19 process. 

Step 5: Provide the MCHS principal and the Covid-19 team with all positive or negative test results. 

*Please note that DTCC takes a more conservative approach to campus restriction which may or may not align to the CDC guidance for K-12 schools or DPS policies. DTCC will need to provide you with an official return date.
