During this period of distance learning, please continue to monitor your child’s health and notify the school should they exhibit any of the following COVID-19 symptoms:

• Fever (temp 100 and above)

• Chills

• Uncontrolled new cough

• Shortness of breath

• Difficulty breathing

• Loss of taste or smell

• Sore throat

• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

Staff and students exhibiting any of the above symptoms, or feeling ill, should call their medical provider to report their symptoms and ask about testing prior to seeking in-person care at a clinic, physician’s office, or hospital. We will continue to monitor our local health data and take the necessary steps to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
