As we move through the school year, we ask for your continued partnership in keeping our school community safe and healthy. Please do not send your child to school if they are sick.
If a student is sent home with a fever, they must remain home until they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication. This is essential to help stop the spread of illness to classmates and staff.
We know how tough it can be to manage work and family when a child is home sick, but sending them to school before they’re fully recovered—especially after fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or an unexplained rash within the last 24–48 hours—puts others at risk and doesn’t help your child, either.
Sick students are not in a position to learn effectively, and being at school while unwell only delays their recovery and increases the chances of spreading illness to others. Giving medication to temporarily reduce symptoms does not make them well enough to return.
Our teachers are committed to being in the classroom each day, but when we get sick, we face the same challenges you do—and finding substitute coverage is more difficult than ever. Every family doing their part helps us all stay healthy and focused on learning.
Thank you for understanding and helping us care for our entire school community.
In partnership,
Lauren Calkins, BSN, RN, CCS School Nurse
How does our understanding of time influence how we live? Students, families, community and more are encouraged to join the student-led community discussion about this topic at the 2025 Socrates Cafe.

“Socrates Cafe is incredibly special in the way that it provides a rare opportunity to gather with a diverse group of community members and communicate in a safe and supported environment, allowing all participants to not only connect but find curiosity in possible new perspectives,” says CVU junior Emma Jean Armstrong. “At the end of the discussion, every contributor walks away with an experience that has either shifted, added to, or confirmed their original thoughts.”
