Stay or go home if you have one or more of these symptoms:

• fever over 100.4 within the last 24 hours
• new loss of taste or smell
• vomiting two or more times during the previous 24 hours, unless the vomiting is known to be caused by a condition that’s not contagious
• conditions that suggest the possible presence of a more serious illness, including
  • fever
  • rash
  • sluggishness
  • persistent crying
  • irritability
  • difficulty breathing
• diarrhea (must be diarrhea free in the 24 hours prior to returning to school) 
• Impetigo until 24 hours after treatment has started.  Impetigo is a skin infection with erupting sores usually under the nose or by the lips. This drainage is generally described as “a golden crust”. 

All individuals, including students, staff, and visitors, are encouraged to follow CDC guidance regarding face masks. 

Guidance for individuals who test positive for COVID-19  

• Contact your school nurse for guidance.
• Individuals must isolate themselves at home from days 0-5. Day 0 is the first day of symptoms, or the day of the positive test if no symptoms have developed.
• Individuals may return after 5 days, if:
  • they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications;
  • their symptoms improving; and
  • they wear a mask for days 6-10 when around other people. If the individual tests negative twice (at least 48 hours apart) between days 6-10, then the mask can be removed before day 10.

To minimize the spread of illness, report contagious diseases to the school nurse.

• Contagious diseases: COVID-19, influenza, measles, whooping cough, hepatitis A, tuberculosis, chickenpox, etc. 
   

The school nurse or another school representative will contact you if your child becomes ill or seriously injured at school.

• It is very important to provide an emergency contact and keep it updated throughout the year. If a parent/guardian cannot be reached, other individuals listed on the emergency form will be contacted.  
• Students must be picked up within one hour after being contacted unless arrangements have been made with the school nurse or administrator.
