How do I communicate with the school if my child has seasonal allergies, chronic migraines, gastrointestinal issues, asthma, etc.?

1. If there is a medical history of these symptoms, please provide a doctor’s note to the school nurse for documentation. Students will be assessed by the school nurse to determine if there is a change in the student’s normal baseline.

When can my student return to school after being diagnosed with, and/or testing positive for COVID-19?

1. Students may return to school after 5 days of isolation (return on the 6th day) if symptoms are improving and they have been without fever (100.0 F or above) for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication.
