Every day, before coming to school, we ask parents/guardians to check and ask their child if they have any of the following symptoms and/or exposure:

• Fever – temperature 100.4 degrees or greater.
• Cough
• Rash
• Sore throat/swollen glands
• Shortness of breath,
• Runny nose or congestion
• Diarrhea
• Nausea or vomiting
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Muscle pain
• Lack of appetite
• Loss of taste or smell
• Red, itchy, watery eyes
• Persistent earache
• Students who have recently had close contact with a person with COVID-19, monitor their health until 7-10 days after their last exposure.  
• Students who have had any of the above symptoms in the past 24 hours would need to stay home from school and/or until symptoms resolve without medication to relieve 
  symptom(s).
• Students who have taken any fever-reducing medications such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen in the past 24 hours would need to stay home until they are fever-free without the use of medication for 24 hours.
