Of the approximately 7,392 individuals (students and staff), this represents .2%. While we would like to have 0 positive Covid-19 cases, we have been diligent in our safety precautions.

Here are some recent updates:
- After confirming with Marin Public Health, NUSD will accept the results from rapid antigen tests that families supply for their student. The parent/guardian must send a screenshot of the results to principal or health liaison to confirm a negative result. They can return to school with a negative test as long as they are symptom free.
- 2021-2022 NUSD Student and Family Handbook is now available in English and Spanish. You can find them here https://nusd.org/safety-information/ along with the Decision Trees.
- The Decision Trees have been updated as of 8/30/21 and can be found here for Vaccinated and Unvaccinated or Partially Vaccinated
- We created a Covid-19 Scenario Infographic for Supervised TK-12 School Exposure. They can be found here in English and Spanish.
