*A Note From Our Nurses:*

We are asking that if you have anyone in your household being tested for
COVID to please also stay home until results are in. If you are not sure if
your household member needs a COVID test, please email Nurse Lisa or Nurse
Amber and we can help figure out the next steps.

I understand that this is something that has been dynamic throughout this
school year, and we are sorry for any confusion that has caused. We have
been trying to follow our county’s guidance, disease burden, and what other
area schools are doing.This is no small task!

With cough and cold season upon us, we’d like to review what are considered
COVID symptoms and therefore *requires your child to stay home:*

* ONE* of the following: cough, trouble breathing, or loss of taste/smell

*OR*

*TWO* of the following*:* congestion, sore throat, fever, headache, body
aches, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue

*We are asking that siblings and children of adults being tested for COVID
please stay home, even if they are not showing symptoms.*

This is due to the spread in the schools linked to household contacts.

If you are unsure if you or your child needs to be tested, PLEASE keep all
household members home until you speak with a school nurse or your family
physician.

*Help us stay open by keeping your sick kids home. *

Depending on their symptoms, you will hear from a School Nurse who will
help determine what day your children may safely return to school.
