The health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority. To help mitigate the spread of Covid-19, we will be sending this monthly symptoms awareness sign-off form.  

If you or your child exhibit any of the symptoms below (regardless of vaccination status), remain home and contact the school nurse. Unvaccinated siblings of a student who has symptoms will be excluded from school until the symptomatic individual receives a negative test result. If the symptomatic individual tests positive, please contact your school nurse.

Any of the symptoms below could indicate a COVID-19 infection. Please note that this list does not include all possible symptoms and individuals with COVID-19 may experience any, all, or none of these symptoms. Please monitor daily for the following symptoms:

List A (2 symptoms)
fever (100.4 or higher)
chills
rigors (shivers)
myalgia (muscle aches)
headache
sore throat
nausea or vomiting
diarrhea
fatigue
congestion or runny nose

List B (1 symptom)
new or worsening cough
shortness of breath
difficulty breathing
new loss of taste or smell


Individuals who are sick (e.g. fever of 100.4 or higher, vomiting, diarrhea) should not attend school. If TWO OR MORE symptoms in list A are exhibited OR AT LEAST ONE symptom in list B is exhibited, remain home. If COVID-19 symptoms are present and your child has had NO known exposure in the last 5 days, your child should not return to school until a negative viral test (PCR, home or rapid test) is presented OR an isolation period of at least 5 days since symptom onset and at least 24 hours after resolution of fever without fever reducing medication with symptom improvement has been completed. If your child has Covid-19 symptoms and IS a known exposure, a negative PCR test is required for your child to return to school. Students may return to school on day 6 (day 0 is day of symptom onset) as long as they have been fever-free for 24 hours without medication and must wear a mask through day 10.


Additionally, do any of the additional criteria below pertain to your child? If so, DO NOT send your child to school and contact the school nurse.
My child is unvaccinated OR is not up to date on their Covid vaccinations (fully vaccinated including eligible boosters) and has been identified as a close contact of someone who has symptoms associated with COVID-19 (close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of an infected individual for a period of 15 minutes or more in a 24 hour period)
My child has tested positive for COVID-19
Someone in my household is awaiting COVID-19 test results or has tested positive
