Dear Findlay City Schools Staff and Community:
In Governor DeWine’s press conference on December 30th, 2020 it was announced that Ohio is changing its guidance regarding quarantines following an in-classroom exposure in K-12 schools. Moving forward, students and teachers exposed to COVID-19 in the classroom setting are no longer required to quarantine as long as the exposure occurred in a classroom setting and all students/teachers were wearing masks and following other appropriate protocols.
This decision is based on two studies, one statewide and one national. In these studies, “preliminary results of the evaluation found no discernable difference in the risk of contracting the coronavirus between those in close contact with a COVID-positive person in the classroom and those who were farther away.” The executive summary for the Ohio study can be found here: https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/
The updated guidance does not pertain to after school activities, including sports. Findlay City Schools will continue to update the dashboard and notify staff and parents when the district is alerted of a positive COVID-19 case.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during these difficult times.

Dear Findlay City Schools Community,
Beginning November 30, Findlay City Schools will move forward with fully remote teaching and learning for grades 6-12. PK-5 will remain in the current hybrid model.
While we know remote learning is not optimal, we are working hard to ensure a smooth transition for all students. If your student is enrolled in Trojan Academy, remote learning will continue for those students. Please reach out to your building principal with any questions or concerns.
Please continue to watch for the symptoms of COVID-19, which can be found at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s website at: www.cdc.gov. If you or your child begins to experience symptoms, please consult a healthcare provider.
As always, thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this difficult situation.
