CDC COVID-19 Guidelines: Staying Home When Sick
People who have symptoms of respiratory or gastrointestinal infections, such as cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea, should stay home. Testing is recommended but not required for students with symptoms of COVID-19. If a student with COVID-19 symptoms tests negative for COVID-19, they should consider getting tested for other respiratory illnesses that could be spread to others, such as flu. Staying home when sick can lower the risk of spreading infectious diseases, including COVID-19, to other students. Remain home until you are symptom free. Please send an absence note to school with your child and have them turn this into the main office.
