WTSD Travel Guidance Domestic Travel: During the COVID-19 Pandemic, a fourteen (14)-day quarantine travel advisory announced by the Governors of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, is in effect until further notice. Individuals traveling to or returning to New Jersey from states with increasing rates of COVID-19 are advised to self- quarantine for 14 days. This includes travel by train, bus, car, plane and any other method of transportation. The 14-day quarantine travel advisory applies to travel from certain states identified as those that have a positive COVID-19 test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or have a ten percent (10%) or higher positivity rate over a seven-day rolling average ("impacted states"). This advisory is updated regularly by the State of New Jersey, and may be found at the following link: https://covid19.nj.gov/faqs/nj-information/travel-and-transportation/which-states-are-on-the-travel- advisory-list-are-there-travel-restrictions-to-or-from-new-jersey Foreign Travel: In addition, any person that has traveled outside of the United States, and has traveled to any country that is considered on the international list of countries that are Level 3-High Risk, must also quarantine for 14 days prior to entering the school building. Again, please check the most up-to-date list before traveling. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/map-and-travel-notices.html Travelers and residents returning from impacted states or countries should self-quarantine at their home. Individuals should only leave the place of self-quarantine to seek medical care/treatment or to obtain food and other essential items. Exclusion from School Buildings During Quarantine: The Woodbridge Board of Education in an effort to keep our school and community COVID free and safe will require ALL STUDENT(S) AND STAFF MEMBERS who have traveled to any state, territory, or country that has been listed on the state/territory advisory list or the Level 3 High Risk International List to quarantine for fourteen (14) calendar days prior to entering any Woodbridge Township School District building. Please note that this also includes traveling to any of these locations during scheduled school district breaks and vacations. If any student, parent/guardian, or staff member chooses to travel to a state or country that is on the advisory list at the time of travel, they will be expected to quarantine for 14 days upon their return. Please also note that these lists are fluid and are changed daily, and these changes must be adhered to. This is for the safety of our entire community. Truth and honesty is expected for the health and wellness of our staff, students, and their families. Students: Parents/guardians MUST make arrangements for their child(ren) to continue school for the 14 days of quarantine as REMOTE ONLY. The students will not be permitted into school during this time. If the child attends their classes REMOTELY, these days will not count against their absences. However, if the student misses remote instruction during a vacation or subsequent quarantine, these days will count as unexcused absences.
