In order for us to have a safe and successful school year, we ask that you continue to monitor yourself, your students, and other household members with the following symptom checklist.  Please communicate with your school nurse if your student is showing any symptoms or any positive test results in your household.  Lack of communication can create a false sense of security and lead to inaccurate data or worsening of transmission of COVID-19. 

ISOLATION means keeping someone who is infected or presumed to be infected with the virus away from others.  If someone is showing symptoms or has tested positive, they isolate for 5 days after the start of symptoms, and then mask indoors for an additional 5 days.  
 

We all want a successful and long-lived return to in person instruction, but it requires help from our entire community.   Please don’t hesitate to contact your school nurse if you have any questions or concerns!
