COVID-19
In order to maintain a healthy environment, staff and students must be fever free and displaying no symptoms, or have not been in contact with others who are symptomatic or may have COVID-19. If contact has been made, they must place themselves in quarantine for 14 days. Absences will not count against students who are in quarantine.
Only healthy students may physically attend school. This means no student will be allowed entry with a fever over 100.4º. If symptoms including body aches occur, students must stay home. If a student arrives and has a fever measured at over 100.4º they will be sent home before entering the building. Any child attending school that becomes feverish or displays symptoms must be placed in isolation and be sent home immediately. If a student is absent with fever for more than 3 days a doctor’s note must accompany them when returning to school.
