Return to school protocol:
I truly appreciate your partnership as we strive to keep our students as healthy as possible. When a student is sent home due to illness, the school nurse will provide guidance regarding return-to-school protocol.

When a student is sent home due to illness, the school nurse will provide guidance regarding return-to-school protocol. If a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea is present, the student must remain home until those symptoms have been resolved for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.

If symptoms are attributed to another diagnosis, the student may return to school when the symptoms have improved and he/she is feeling well enough to participate in all aspects of the school day. If the student exhibits symptoms unique to COVID-19, such as a loss of taste or smell, or if the student has been exposed to a known COVID-19 case, he/she should have a negative COVID test result prior to returning to school.

If the student has been diagnosed with any communicable disease (strep, conjunctivitis, pertussis etc.), please contact your school nurse to discuss isolation length and clearance to return to school.

The use of COVID tests is strongly encouraged to ensure that schools remain safe and healthy environments for all students and staff.
