Each day before school, parents should screen their children for symptoms of illness and check temperature.

When to stay home from school:

• symptoms of illness are present

• fever greater than 100° F

• recent close contact with a person diagnosed with COVID-19

 

If your child needs to stay home due to illness, please notify the school.

Return to school must be coordinated through the school Health Office.

 

 

School staff will monitor for signs/symptoms of illness throughout the day. If illness is suspected, students will be referred to the Health Office. If exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, student will wait in isolation with continued supervision until picked up by an authorized adult. It is extremely important that students be picked up as quickly as possible to avoid prolonged exposure and to seek prompt medical care if needed. Parents should ensure that their child’s emergency contacts are up to date in the event that they are unavailable. Emergency contacts are updated yearly through the Online Registration process. In case of emergency, 911 will be called.
