Blood Drive Announcement Oviedo High School will be hosting a lifesaving blood drive on Thursday, September 2, 2021. Giving blood saves lives in our community. Let’s show our community spirit and donate blood.

Give the gift of life. Sign-ups for Thursday’s blood drive are in the commons during lunch. Giving blood will also count as 1 hour of community service. Under 18 years of age requires parental consent.

Are you in 9th-11th Grade and Need to Retake a Class??? We would like to extend an invitation to your student to attend our after-school PLATO program. PLATO is an online, web-based credit recovery system where students can work at their own pace. One .5 credit course could take, at minimum, two weeks to complete dependent upon the entry point in the course (students can place further along in the course rather than in the beginning after completing a pre-test).

This is an opportunity for underclassmen to recover credit during the school year a couple days a week. The next opportunity will be summer school in June 2022.

Save Your Spot Here: https://forms.gle/oCfbfNE7SDZAA8nN7

The after-school PLATO program will operate Tuesdays (1-208) and Thursdays (13-211) from 2:30pm to 4:30pm starting August 31st.

*There is no transportation, so students will need to coordinate their own way home.

COVID-19 Update

For up-to-date information on the number of COVID-19 positive cases per school, click on the following link: https://www.scps.k12.fl.us/covid19/dashboard.stml

For current COVD-19 Information as it relates to your student, please access the SCPS website. https://www.scps.k12.fl.us/covid19/ This site will change as the guidelines change.

What happens if a student tests positive for COVID-19? When can the student return in school setting? • Student can return on Day #11 after symptom onset or on Day #11 after test date if asymptomatic. • Student can take a COVID diagnostic test and return to school IF they are asymptomatic AND provide negative results to Oviedo High School. • Student receives written permission to return to school from a licensed medical doctor OR a licensed osteopathic physician OR a licensed advanced registered nurse practioner. What about a student-athlete testing positive for COVD-19? When can they return to play? If the student-athlete has a positive COVID test, then they must complete a minimum of a 1- week return to play AFTER they are cleared by their doctor to return to sports. Once clearance is given, the athlete must bring their clearance note from the doctor to the Athletic Training room to keep on file. They will require a 1-week period to gradually return to full activity. This mimics the concussion “return-to -play” guideline. THIS MEANS A 3 WEEK PLUS TIME FROM DIAGNOSIS/SYMPTOMS TO RETURN TO COMPETITION. Parents, coaches, and athletes must watch for signs of heart involvement including chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, easy fatigue and exercise intolerance. STOP EXERCISE IF THIS IS SEEN AND HAVE PARENT CALL THE PHYSICIAN OR 9-1-1 IF SEVERE.

What if a student is exposed? • Emergency Rule 64 DER21-12 • Student can return on Day #8 after exposure if they remain asymptomatic. • Student can take a COVID diagnostic test on Day #5 after exposure and return to school IF they are asymptomatic AND provide proof of a negative test results to Oviedo High School. ** The COVID diagnostic test must be collected and reported. It can be a rapid test, PCR, Rapid PCR, or antigen test. It can NOT be a home test. Persons Exempt from Quarantine • Staff and Students who are fully vaccinated • Exposed 14 days or more after their second dose in a 2-dose series • Exposed 14 days or more after a single-dose vaccine • Oviedo High School can NOT ask if staff or students are vaccinated. The staff and student must voluntarily divulge that information. The school board nurse then verifies the information with the Department of Health Database. • Staff and Students who were previously diagnosed with COVID-19 within 90 days of exposure.
