Parent Locker Messages Explained

The following messages are potentially what students will see on their Parent Locker. After each message is a brief explanation of each message, including next steps the student must complete in order to enter campus safely.

Note: Any student who has a RED check on their Parent Locker MUST proceed to Highlander Hall, regardless of vaccination status.

Close Contact Notice

“You have been identified as a 'close contact' to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. If you are vaccinated and have no symptoms, you may return to school. Please have proof of vaccination to show before you are allowed on campus. If you are NOT fully vaccinated, you are not permitted on campus and must quarantine for ten days. This ten day quarantine period will end on August 30. However, unvaccinated students who have no symptoms may return after seven days if they test negative. Please report to Highlander Hall on August 27 for a COVID test. If this test is negative, you may return to school that day. Please refer to the email sent for more information or contact the Nurse at 818-360-2361 ext 389.” 

What this message means & next steps

  • An individual in one of their classes has tested positive, and they are either seated near them in class or had close contact as determined by contact tracing.
