2021-2022 COVID Quarantine Numberstitle
Good afternoon Rescue Union School District Community,
This webpage is intended to provide you the District’s:
- COVID positive cases each week
- Isolation and Quarantine numbers
As always, I want to acknowledge that at times, any communication regarding COVID cases and quarantining can cause unexpected fears and possibly anxiety. If that happens, please reach out to your site principals or our district team to talk. We want to help! We are all parents ourselves and understand and empathize with what you are living. At the end of the day, the health and safety of our students and staff are our top priority.
In the spirit of complete transparency below are the numbers of known positive COVID-19 and quarantine cases per school community for the week of May 23 - 27, 2022. This page will be updated with new weekly counts by 5pm each Friday.

Please note that for every presumed and positive COVID-19 incident our staff conducts extensive contact tracing (classroom, cafeteria, bus, etc) and all students and staff who were within 6 feet of a positive student or staff member for more than 15 cumulative minutes are notified. We then implement the appropriate and legal quarantining guidelines. If you have not been contacted, your student(s) were not considered a close contact: within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes. Again, all close contacts have been notified and the appropriate next steps have been implemented.
A few parting reminders:
- To date a relatively small number of students have actually tested positive for COVID-19 and thankfully an overwhelming majority of them have been asymptomatic or had relatively mild symptoms.
- As of April 6, 2022, the state has allowed for a quarantine process which allows staff and students who are exposed to COVID-19 to remain in school as long as they are asymptomatic regardless of vaccination status.
- The district has testing kits to allow for a convenient and free testing option to our families.
- We have increased social distancing in classes when possible to limit the number of students required to quarantine in the event of an exposure.
- We continue to allow outdoor dining at lunch as often as possible.
- Our outdoor education spaces and options continue to be options at all of our sites
- Hand sanitizer will continue to be available in all classrooms.
- We have installed MERV-13 filters into all of our HVAC units. Additionally, each HVAC unit has been equipped with an ionization air purification system and each classroom has a portable air purifier.
Lastly, RUSD has partnered with Care Solace to support our community’s mental health.
- Care Solace can help you quickly find mental health or substance use treatment options matched to your needs regardless of circumstances.
- Their support is completely confidential and free to RUSD’s students, staff, and their families.
- If you would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider:

In closing, the health and safety of our students and staff are our number one priority and we appreciate your efforts, flexibility and patience as we work to keep all of our community members safe. Thank you for supporting our district during these challenging times. We will continue to update you as we receive new information.
Take care,
Jim Shoemake
