From the Health Office
The CDC has updated their guidelines regarding when a someone should stay home related to illness that could either affect their ability to participate in school or when there is concern with spreading an infection to staff and other students. Please review the following updated visual regarding when you should/shouldn’t keep your student home.
Furthermore:
Stay home with respiratory virus symptoms that are worsening or not improving and not better explained by another cause such as seasonal allergies.
When you may have a respiratory virus...
Stay home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you have respiratory virus symptoms that aren't better explained by another cause. These symptoms can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, among others.
Return to the school setting when respiratory virus symptoms are getting better overall for at least 24 hours. Students and staff returning after a respiratory illness can consider additional actions to reduce spread.
Please reach out if you have any questions!
