Medications:

If there are medications that need to be given at school, please email the nurse for more information, or stop into the Health Office. The Health Office staff needs to confirm health conditions, paperwork, medications, and expiration dates.

COVID Isolation Guidelines are the same as last school year. If your student tests positive for COVID they must stay home for 5 days (from symptom onset or date of positive test, whichever is first). Please notify the Health Office if your student tests positive. Health Office staff will talk through the dates and confirm the timeline. Students can return to school on day 6 and will be required to wear a mask at school on days 6-10.

There is no quarantine of close contacts; please send your student to school each day that they feel well.

We still have COVID tests. Contact the Health Office if you would like one sent home with your student.

Hello Students and Caregivers,

In accordance with state law, Roseville Area High School is required to conduct a number of safety drills per school year. This year, we will be conducting the following safety drills: Lockdown, Hold, and Secure. We will communicate to students a day before we conduct these safety drills. In addition, we will be conducting 5 fire drills and one severe weather drill (tornado drill). Our staff have gone through the required training to help support your child during these drills. Please feel free to contact our school if you have any questions or concerns regarding the drills.
