While we acknowledge that allergies and the common cold still exist, our primary goal remains to keep our students healthy and on campus. In partnership, we ask our parents to adhere to the following guidelines when assessing whether or not their child should attend school.

If your child has ONE of the following symptoms, they should not attend school or extracurricular activities:

• Fever (100.0° or higher without fever-reducing medications)
• Persistent Cough
• Nausea/Vomiting or Diarrhea
• Unusual Fatigue/Persistent Tiredness

If your child has TWO or more of the following symptoms, they should not attend school or extracurricular activities:

• Persistent Chills
• Muscle Pain/Body Aches
• Sore Throat/Hoarseness
• New Loss of Taste or Smell
• Headache
• Uncharacteristic Allergy-like Symptoms

The appropriate division nurse will notify you, asking that you pick up your child and consult with your family physician.

To protect the health of our students, faculty, and staff, parents should also abide by the symptom protocols listed above. If a parent has symptoms, tested positive within the last 10 days, or there is an active positive case in the household, the parent should not be on campus. Any vaccinated individual without symptoms may continue to come on campus when there is a positive case in the household.

If your child has a pending COVID-19 test, they may NOT come to school.

If a parent has a pending COVID-19 test, the child with no symptoms may come to school.

If a sibling has a pending COVID-19 test, your child with no symptoms that is not being tested may come to school.
