Keep your children home if they are sick. Check for symptoms every day by completing self assessments and always check your child’s temperature. If your child has a temperature of 100.0 F or higher, keep your child at home. Additional symptoms to look out for are a cough, sore throat, tiredness, nausea, loss of taste or smell and shortness of breath.

All students must wear face masks while on the bus and at school. Please continue to practice mask wearing with your children at home.

If your student was exposed to someone (within 6 feet for longer than 15 minutes) who tests positive for COVID-19, please keep your student at home for the quarantine period determined by your medical provider.

Reinforce and teach frequent hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Make sure to provide your school with a current telephone number where you can be reached.

Ensure that someone is available to pick up your children within an hour if they are showing symptoms.

Report your child’s absence each day to the school including the reason for the absence and, if sick, please report illness symptoms on the attendance line.

Also, please remind your children about social distancing. This means keeping several feet between themselves and others. I know some children may want to hug or high five others. Instead, please show your children how to give a friendly wave or thumbs up from a distance.
