COVID-19 Dashboard

De La Salle will continue to welcome students to campus for in-person learning while adhering to all safety protocols that are in place. Students who are at home due to exposure, illness, or risk, will be able to join classes virtually.

A Letter from the Principal

De La Salle Collegiate Families,

Welcome to the De La Salle Collegiate COVID-19 dashboard. On this page we will post updated information regarding COVID-19 and its effect on our school. To this point we have been very fortunate to hold in-person learning for our students. We ask that all of our students and families remember to "mask-up" and maintain appropriate social distance so we can continue to provide a high quality education in our building on a daily basis.

Your son’s health is our top priority. We will keep you updated with any information that we receive. Please know that our school has followed all safety guidelines and will continue to do so.

St. John Baptiste de La Salle, Pray for Us!

Live Jesus In Our Hearts! Forever!

Brother Ken Kalinowski, FSC '84
Principal

MDHHS Quarantine Guidance

As Michigan students return to the classroom, MDHHS has updated its COVID-19 quarantine guidance for both vaccinated and unvaccinated students.

MDHHS recommends local health departments and schools work together to quickly isolate COVID-19 cases among students and staff, identify close contacts of those cases and adopt quarantine policies that reduce the risk of transmission in schools while allowing in-person learning. When evidence-based prevention measures, including universal masking, are in place, modifications may be made to the 10- to 14-day at-home quarantine.

School quarantine guidance for asymptomatic students who were exposed to a student infected with COVID-19 varies depending on a variety of circumstances. In all cases, the student who has tested positive for COVID-19 should isolate and follow directions from their local health department. Any individual that displays COVID-19 symptoms, regardless of vaccination status, should be tested and isolate as directed.

Under the new guidance, a student exposed to COVID-19 can remain in school under the following scenarios:

A fully vaccinated student (regardless of whether they wore a mask) who came in close contact with a COVID-positive student. The exposed student can remain in school if they wear a mask and monitor symptoms for 14 days after their exposure. They should test for COVID-19 three to five days after their last exposure to the COVID-positive student. If the exposed student tests positive, then the student should isolate and follow directions from their local health department.
An unvaccinated student who was masked and exposed to a COVID-positive student who was also masked in an indoor school setting, so long as the students remained at least three to six feet apart. The exposed student can remain in school if they wear a mask, but they should monitor symptoms for 14 days following the exposure.
An unvaccinated student who was masked and exposed to a COVID-positive student who was also masked in an indoor school setting, but the students were less than three feet apart and the student tests daily.
The exposed student can remain in school if they wear a mask. They should monitor symptoms for 14 days and test daily before coming into the school building for the seven days following the exposure. They should continue to monitor for symptoms for a total of 14 days following the exposure.
The exposed student should work with their school district and local health department to determine options available for daily testing. If the student cannot complete daily testing for seven days following the exposure, the student should not remain in school and should follow the guidance below.

An unvaccinated student exposed to COVID-19 should not remain in school under the following scenarios:

If the exposed or COVID-positive student, or both were not wearing a mask. Unvaccinated students who are unmasked are more likely to become ill because they are more likely to have been exposed to larger amounts of virus.
The exposed student should not remain in school, and instead the student should quarantine at home for 10 days following the exposure.
- They may return after day 10 if they have not had any symptoms during those 10 days. They should continue to monitor for symptoms for a total of 14 days following the exposure.
- The student may return after day seven if they test negative that day and do not have symptoms. They should continue to monitor for symptoms for a total of 14 days following the exposure.
A student who was masked and exposed to a COVID-positive student who was also masked in an indoor school setting, but the students were less than three feet apart and the student does not test daily.

“The best protection against COVID-19 are the three safe and effective vaccines we have available, and we urge all eligible Michiganders to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, chief medical executive and chief deputy for health. “As many of our students are too young to be vaccinated, masks are an important tool to prevent the spread of the virus and allow for in-person learning to continue uninterrupted.”

How to Handle Symptoms and Household Exposure

Recommended Actions to Take

Covid Return to School Policy

If a student was COVID-19 positive at any time, DLS will need a doctor's verification on file at the school. The doctor’s note must include:

A Diagnosis - stating Covid Positive
A Return to School / Pt. cleared date
Physician's contct info (clearly written, stamped, or typed)
Physician signature

Additionally, please keep in mind the following:

Students that been deemed as a close contact to a positive case MAY return after a 14-day quarantine period.
As per previous policy, a note is not required to return to school for an exposure, only a positive result.

This information does not require you to quarantine. All students and members of the school community that are suspected to have had close contact with an individual that tests positive for COVID-19 will be notified by De La Salle Collegiate and/or the Macomb County Health Department.

Due to medical privacy laws, we are unable to release the names of any individuals who test positive for COVID-19. We will communicate all updates with you as we receive them. We appreciate your understanding of this matter.

We ask all students and their families to participate in wearing a mask and the practicing of appropriate social distance to ensure our students can continue to maintain a safe and positive learning environment.

If you have questions, contact the Macomb County Health Department. For further information regarding COVID-19 please visit Michigan.gov/Coronavirus.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance

This is a living document. It’s not set in stone, and will likely need to be updated as circumstances change. Our goal is to provide a roadmap – albeit not full proof – that supports the continuation of in-person learning at De La Salle Collegiate.

We worked diligently to prepare our Return to School Roadmap, and have been reassured by the Macomb County Health Department, the protocols that are now in place are working and will continue to safely provide our students with the highest-caliber learning environment. As we have learned since March, the circumstances and responses to the COVID-19 public health emergency are regularly changing. This could mean at some point our measures are not sufficient and would then require a transition to temporary distance-learning.

This roadmap will be updated as regularly with guidance from the State of Michigan, the Archdiocese of Detroit, and other applicable sources. This roadmap is not a substitute for professional medical advice or consultation or guidance offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Archdiocese of Detroit, the State of Michigan, or other government sources. It is important that we all act responsibly to combat the virus, protect our fellow De La Salle community members, and ensure the best possible learning environment for our students.

We understand that our parents and students may have questions and concerns as we navigate new circumstances together. We want to hear those questions and concerns and address them promptly. Please reach out to the following contacts:

Health Concerns and Virus Exposure: Ms. Nicole Zarucki
Academics: Mr. Chris Dean
Athletics: Mr. D an Rohn

Under these new and challenging circumstances, De La Salle Collegiate remains committed to fostering an environment where each student can develop his faith, character, intellect, and morality. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.
