Student Illness – Updated Oct 4 2021

Posted October 4, 2021

The current COVID symptom list includes the following:

  • Fever (= or > 37.8) and/or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
  • Decrease or loss of taste or smell

If a child has any of the symptoms listed above, they need to stay home, as do any siblings that are not fully vaccinated. They must stay at home until the child with symptoms gets a negative COVID-19 test result, is cleared by public health, or is diagnosed with another illness.

If a child becomes symptomatic at school, the child and siblings will be sent home.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause, but we simply cannot deviate from these directives from public health.

Thanks for your continued support.
