What to do if you are sick with COVID-19
Please note: Unless a student has tested positive for COVID, we are no longer excluding students with flu-like symptoms from school. If a student is sick or feeling unwell, we recommend taking cautionary steps to prevent any spread of infection to fellow classmates: wearing a mask and practicing safe distancing until symptoms subside. If any student is running a fever and/or has active diarrhea/vomiting, please keep home for 24 hours since the last episode before returning to school.

Student Visit Policy
-
All students who come to the office for an injury/illness must have a pass from the class they are missing- with the exception of an emergency. No passes are needed during a medical emergency. Students are not allowed to come in during the passing period. The only exception is during their lunch period. All students must sign in the Student Log upon entering the health office and sign out when leaving.
Failure to sign in and/or out can result in their time in the health office not being covered for attendance. The nurse will assess the student to determine the appropriate action to be taken. If the student is being released to go home, we must speak with a parent/guardian before the student is released.
