If your student has a medical condition, please ensure the campus nurse is aware of any specific instructions.
Please ensure your student brings the following items to school each day: refillable water bottle (water fountains are closed), extra set of clothing, (shoes and socks for PK & K), and an extra mask if your child wears them to school.
Parents/guardians are expected to screen their students for COVID-19 symptoms each day prior to sending their student to school (including temp check). Parents must ensure they do not send a child to school on campus if the child has COVID-19 symptoms
- Temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when taken by mouth
- Sore throat
- New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing or for students with a chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline.
- Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
- New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever
If your child has any of the above symptoms or is lab-confirmed with COVID-19, please do not send him/her to campus and contact me. Please call the campus nurse for instruction on how he/she may return to campus. We also recommend that you do not send your child to school if a household member has tested positive for COVID-19.
Currently there are 3 ways a student may return to campus if they have any COVID like symptoms:
- 10 days have passed since symptoms began AND improvement in symptoms AND 24 hours fever free (without the use of fever reducing medication) *ALL 3 must be met with this option
- They are cleared by a physician to return to school
- The student has had a negative PCR test result indicating symptoms were not due to COVID-19. A rapid antigen test will NOT be accepted.
What can you do to prevent COVID-19?
- Wash hands often for 20 seconds and encourage others to do the same
- If no soap and water are available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
