Employees or students exhibiting symptoms consistent with COVID, should stay home along with unvaccinated siblings.
If a student is sent home from school with symptoms consistent with COVID, unvaccinated siblings will also be sent home until COVID is ruled out as a concern.
Symptoms Consistent with COVID
- Congestion or runny nose (a runny nose is the predominant symptom in COVID-positive children)
- Sore throat
- Cough
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- New loss of taste or smell
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fever or chills
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Exhibiting one of these symptoms makes COVID a concern. Employees and students with these symptoms must remain home until BOTH of the following conditions are met:
Consult a Pediatrician
If a student is absent or sent home from school with symptoms consistent with COVID-19, consult a pediatrician. Families should follow thenpediatrician’s directives and notify the school.
Recurring Symptoms
If a student suffers from recurring headaches, an upset stomach, or other symptoms consistent with COVID, parents can submit written confirmation from the pediatrician documenting this as a non-COVID symptom for this student and allowing the student to remain at school when this symptom occurs. Without this written documentation, a student will be sent home each time these symptoms occur.
