Nope, they've been back since the end of June and so far no cases at their schools *knock on wood.* My son's preschool was actually open the whole time for essential workers, but we kept him home for several months.

Our daycare has shut down rooms several times and even the entire daycare once. It hasn't affected DD2s room yet. The older two were in camp and now in school. No issues with either yet. We are in Louisiana and I expect to have someone get affected. We'll deal with that when it happens.

We had an exposure and had to quarantine but turned out ok.

No. Our preschool was only completely shut down for the first two weeks. Opened up for essential workers after that, to everyone with a limited capacity at the end of April, and at normal capacity in June.

My kids went back in June. There have been no issues before or since they went back. I hope your transition goes a smoothly!

@Corduroy: Our daycare will soon be able to start testing all staff once/week as part of a program for asymptomatic adults that they were invited to participate in. I have a feeling with 40% or so of adults asymptomatic - and probably higher rates asymptomatic amongst small kids - it will uncover a lot we wouldn't have otherwise known about (which is good, but when we send them back I do envision it being pretty likely that there will be classroom closures).

There were actually multiple teachers in ours that got sick back in early March just before they shut down. No kids are known to have gotten it, but that was back when testing was nearly impossible to access so who knows. There wasn't an exposure in DS's room, so we only learned of this well after the fact... We opted out of the rest of the school year, as they needed to reduce class sizes for covid precautions, so haven't been back yet (but are planning to ultimately return)

Our daycare/pre-k reopened in May and has only had to close for 1 week since then. Two teachers tested positive from the same classroom so they had those families quarantine for 2 weeks and ended up closing the whole school for a week so they could clean and test all of the teachers.

I know it may happen again but hoping that my kids are able to attend for a majority of the year.

Not yet. We haven’t had anyone test positive at our daycare yet. They are sending home notices when parents test positive or are exposed. They also sent a note that a teacher had a slight fever and got tested, but so far no positives in the school itself.

We’re hearing less from my daughter’s elementary school, but they specifically said they wouldn’t notify unless there were 2 positives in a class.

Like @Mrs. Toad: we’re in Louisiana where rates are really high, so I expect we’ll be expose soon though and am surprised we haven’t yet... at least to our knowledge.

Our school is all virtual, but my daughter attended day camps in July and August. We're in a state where cases increased a lot in July, but as far as we know, we haven't had any exposures (thankfully!). Definitely no symptoms. We've been mostly isolated to a few close friends and family other than her camp attendance. The camps did practice preventative measures like small groups, masks, and lots of hand sanitizer.

We've been back since May. No positive cases for any students, teachers, or staff. Just one parent had a positive test in May. We live in Arizona where July had 1,000-3,000 positive cases a day.
