A Message from Health Services
Fall is quickly approaching and so is cold and flu season! Please help us keep our school community healthy by keeping your child at home when they are not feeling well. Keep your student home if they are experiencing any of the symptoms below:
- Fever or chills
- Shortness of breath
- Wet or productive cough
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- New loss of taste of smell
While in school, your student can help slow the spread of germs by covering their nose or mouth when coughing and sneezing, and washing hands frequently with soap and water.
Please note that COVID no longer has a quarantine period. Students may return to school as soon as they are feeling better and are fever-free for more than 24 hours without fever reducing medication. Please contact your child’s school if they are going to be absent due to illness.
If you have additional questions, please visit our Health Services webpage or contact us.
