When should I keep my child home from school?
Every day, before coming to school, we ask parents/guardians to check and ask their
child if they have any of the following symptoms and/or exposure:
- Fever – temperature 100.4 degrees or greater.
- Cough
- Rash
- Sore throat/swollen glands
- Shortness of breath,
- Runny nose or congestion
- Diarrhea
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Muscle pain
- Lack of appetite
- Loss of taste or smell
- Red, itchy, watery eyes
- Persistent earache
- Students who have recently had close contact with a person with COVID-19, monitor their health until 7-10 days after their last exposure.
- Students who have had any of the above symptoms in the past 24 hours would need to stay home from school and/or until symptoms resolve without medication to relieve
symptom(s).
- Students who have taken any fever-reducing medications such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen in the past 24 hours would need to stay home until they are fever-free without the use of medication for 24 hours.
