COVID-19 Student Hotline
In order to maintain our increased in-person learning, it is vital that we are able to identify positive COVID-19 cases in our schools immediately so that contract tracing and quarantining can begin. This is essential to reducing further spread within our schools.
Please call the AASD COVID-19 Student Hotline as soon as you are notified of a positive test result for your student.
The hotline can be reached at (920) 832-4100. The hotline is available 24 hours per day. The message inbox is monitored weekdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. The hotline instructions are available in English, Hmong, and Spanish.
When you call to report a positive COVID-19 result for your student, please leave a detailed message that includes the student’s name, date of birth, school, guardian name, and phone number where you can be reached. A school nurse will be in touch with you to discuss your student’s positive COVID-19 results. Please ensure all other household members are not reporting to school. Families should also call your student's school to alert them of your student’s absence.
The hotline should not be used for other reasons. If you have questions about your student’s health or attendance, please call your student’s school.
