The CDC updated the recommended quarantine and isolation periods for those exposed to COVID-19 on December 27, 2021. These updated recommendations have been incorporated in NC Strong Schools Toolkit. DPS has adopted DPS’ COVID protocols accordingly. These updates are designed to keep students in the classroom and/or get them back to class sooner based on the latest data provided by the CDC. The updates are:
Quarantine Period: 10 days reduced to 5 days
Masking Close Contact Expectations Post Exposure
Masking Exemptions
Asymptomatic vs. Symptomatic Clarification
Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated Clarification
Last Friday Little River did not hold our Discovery and Encore programming as usual. Staffing stresses in light of the surge in COVID-19 cases across our community necessitated the reassignment of these team members to cover some general education classrooms for the day.This schedule was a temporary measure and this programming resumed Monday (January 10).

During Winter Break, continue to be diligent in following the 3Ws for preventing spread: Wear your masks when appropriate, Wait for space, and Wash your hands. Please be reminded of our school COVID protocols here.
Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) will be continuing this school year for students and families who qualify. It will not be calculated the same as it was last year.P-EBT is part of the U.S. government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through P-EBT, eligible school children receive temporary emergency nutrition benefits loaded on EBT cards that are used to purchase food. Children who would have received free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Act if their schools were not closed or operating with reduced hours or attendance for at least 5 consecutive days are eligible to receive P-EBT benefits. Students will be reimbursed based on the individual attendance records with the attendance codes of 1D Quarantine and 1R Present Off-Site. The amount provided to each student every month will be determined by the number of 1D and 1R codes multiplied by $7.10 which is the rate. DPS will be pulling data from the start of the year to present to begin to make determinations in compliance with this program.
