We are celebrating all the holidays in December! On December 3rd, it was "National Roof Over Your Head Day". We discussed why we need a roof, how roofs keep us safe, and then how a roof is built. Students thought like engineers and designed their own roof. Then, they used graham crackers, frosting and candy to build their own gingerbread house roof!

What should I do if my student has symptoms of Covid-19?
Please keep your student home from school until you can determine if they should be tested for Covid-19.

What should I do if my student tests positive for Covid-19?
Please keep your student home from school. Notify the school that your student has tested positive. Your school’s contact tracer will contact you with information on how long your student needs to isolate.

What should I do if my student is exposed to Covid-19?
Please contact your student’s school and inform them of the exposure. Your school’s contact tracer will contact you with information on whether your student needs to quarantine, and what the modified quarantine options are.

What is the difference between isolation and quarantine?
When you test positive for Covid-19, you are infectious and required to isolate yourself from other people. When you are in quarantine, you have been exposed to COVID-19, but have not tested positive.

When should I keep my student home?
Please keep your student home if they have a fever of 100.4 or higher, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, sore throat, muscle aches and pains, cough (not related to asthma), or a new loss of sense of taste or smell.

If my student is exposed to Covid-19, do they have to stay home from school?
This year there are several quarantine options for parents. If your student is exposed to a positive case at school, you will receive an email with the quarantine dates and options. If your student is exposed at a social event, or if they have a positive Covid-19 case in their home, please contact your school. Your school’s contact tracer will contact you with information on whether your student needs to quarantine, and what the modified quarantine options are.

What are the modified quarantine options for my student?
As long as a student has not tested positive for Covid-19 and has no symptoms, they may  return to school wearing a mask for the 10-20 days they are in quarantine. They may also take a Covid-19 test 3 days before the end of their quarantine period, and if it is negative, they do not need to wear a mask for the last 3 days. If a student has been fully vaccinated or has had aconfirmed case of Covid-19 in the last 180 days, they do not need to quarantine.

Why do household exposures have to quarantine for 20 days when school exposures only quarantine for 10 days?
Household contacts are exposed every day to the positive person in their home during the 10 days that person is in isolation. When the positive person’s isolation ends, then the family members have to quarantine for an additional 10 days.

How do I know how long my student should quarantine for after they are exposed?
If a student is exposed to a positive case at school, you will receive an email with the dates that your student should quarantine. If it is a social or home exposure, please contact your school’s contact tracer for the dates they should quarantine.

My student is fully vaccinated. Do they still need to quarantine?
If your student is vaccinated, as long as they do not have any symptoms of Covid-19, they may attend school and do not need to quarantine.

My student already had Covid-19. Do they still need to quarantine?
If your student had a confirmed case of Covid-19 in the last 180 days, they do not need to quarantine. A confirmed case means that the test was conducted at a testing facility and the results were confirmed by the local health department. If your student previously tested positive on a home test, they will still need to quarantine.

Why doesn’t the health department accept my Covid-19 home test results?
The health department can only confirm positive Covid-19 cases that are conducted at a testing facility or lab. Those results are uploaded to the state and then shared with local health departments. If a test was done at home, there is no way for the health department to confirm those results.

How do I register my positive Covid-19 home test?
If you have a positive home test you may be able to register the test with the health department by scanning the QR code on the box, or we encourage you to go to a testing site and have the test confirmed. If your positive home test is registered with the Health Department, or the test took place at a registered testing site, your child will not have to quarantine in the next 180 days if exposed again.

How will my student do schoolwork if they have to quarantine or isolate at home due to Covid-19?
If your student has to isolate or quarantine at home due to a Covid-19 case, please inform your student’s school. Your student will be listed as “Online Schooling” for the 10-20 days that they will be home. Students who are quarantining at home are responsible for completing their classwork daily via the Canvas courses. Students will need to email teachers when they have questions and they are responsible for staying caught up in all classes as well as turning in assignments on time. Communication with teachers is extremely important as the teachers will be able to work through issues with the students as needed.

Can my student test out of isolation?
No. A student who has tested positive is considered infectious for 10 days and must isolate at home for the full 10 days. There is no option to test out of isolation, even if you are feeling better, or have a negative test before the end of the 10 day isolation period.

Does my student’s school require a negative test in order for them to return to school after isolation or a home quarantine?
No. A negative test is not required to return to school after a student has tested positive or been exposed to Covid-19. Students with a positive test result are required to isolate at home for the full 10 days. They may return to school if they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours without any fever reducing medication.

I want to know who my child was exposed to at school. Can I ask for their name or what class it was in?
Due to student privacy laws, we do not give out the name of the student or where specifically the exposure occurred. If you receive an Exposure Notification email from your child’s school, that means your student was exposed in one of their classes, at lunch, on the bus, or during an activity at their school.

Where can I take my student to get tested for Covid-19?
Visit https://coronavirus.utah.gov/utah-covid-19-testing-locations/ for testing locations near you. I still have questions about my student. Who should I contact?Please contact your school’s contact tracer, or contact Ashley Blake at 801-452-4094 or .

6th grade students at North Ogden Elementary participated in a twelve year tradition honoring veterans by filling the walls with their pictures and a brief description of their service. We love and appreciate all veterans and their service.

Weber School District honored with three commendations this year for having the best of the best statewide

This award is the third statewide commendation this year to go to Weber School District: Utah Superintendent of the year Jeff Stephens, Utah Teacher of the Year Mark Daniels, and now the U-RISE recipient Mike Evans.

We think our school district is amazing, but when officials in the Governor’s Office as well as the Utah State Board of Education take notice of our great people and programs, it is a proud moment.

This triple-crown achievement for Weber School District in 2021 is shared with all those who are part of a great organization that do amazing things every day for children. When we all work together to put children first in each decision, everyone wins. It’s the Weber Way.

BOARD OF EDUCATION OF WEBER SCHOOL DISTRICT, UTAH

SPECIAL BOND ELECTION

November 2, 2021

[(Facsimile Signature)

Business Administrator, Weber School District]

Shall the Board of Education of Weber School District, Utah, be authorized to issue general obligation bonds (“Bonds”) in an amount not to exceed $279,000,000 and to mature in no more than twenty-one (21) years from the date or dates of issuance of such Bonds for the purpose of raising money for constructing buildings, acquiring land and furnishings and remodeling and updating existing school property under the charge of the Board, and, to the extent necessary, for providing moneys for the refunding, at or prior to the maturity thereof, of general obligation bonds of the Board authorized hereunder or heretofore issued and now outstanding?

PROPERTY TAX COST OF BONDS

If the Bonds are issued as planned, without regard to the taxes currently levied for outstanding bonds that will reduce over time, an annual property tax to pay debt service on the Bonds will be required over a period of 20 years in the estimated average amount of $146.00 on a $395,000 primary residence, and in the estimated average amount of $265.45 on a business property having the same value.

Since there are other outstanding bonds, an otherwise scheduled tax decrease may not occur if these Bonds are issued.

However, such outstanding bonds reduce over time such that the average property tax due to the issuance of the proposed Bonds is expected to have a zero net increase ($0.00) from the current annual property tax levels after the Bonds are issued on both primary residences and businesses or secondary residences in the District.

The foregoing is only an estimate and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the governing body may be required to levy in order to pay debt service on the Bonds.  The governing body is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the Bonds.

To vote in favor of the above bond issue, select the box immediately adjacent to the words “For the Issuance of Bonds.”  To vote against the bond issue, select the box immediately adjacent to the words “Against the Issuance of Bonds.”
