No, this isn't the normal procedure. Kids aged under 12 only have to quarantine for 5 days unless they test positive and have no symptoms, this is to happen at home, not at school, and only if it was a very close contact.

It may have been an emergency where parents for some reason refuse to stay home with their kids and no alternative had been set up yet; but it absolutely is not the protocol.
