    The information below specifically addresses information related to health procedures. 

  • For students who have experienced at least one COVID-19 symptom, with or without being diagnosed with COVID-19:

    Students who have experienced at least one COVID-19 symptom, with or without being diagnosed with COVID-19, should not be in school.

    Students can return to school once there is no fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines and they have felt well for 24 hours if they receive confirmation of an alternative diagnosis from a health care provider that would explain the COVID-19-like symptom(s).

    Without confirmation of an alternative diagnosis, students should stay home until they (or a family member answering for a younger child) can answer YES to all three of the following questions:

    • Has it been at least 10 days since they first had symptoms?
    • Has it been at least 24 hours since they had a fever without using fever-reducing medicine?
    • Have respiratory symptoms improved, including cough or shortness of breath?

    Students are not required to have documentation of a negative test in order to return to school; however, they must be free from any symptoms associated with COVID-19.

    If students have a negative COVID-19 test, they can return to school once there is no fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines and they have felt well for 24 hours.

    By sending your child to school, you agree to pick them up from school each time they experience any medical symptoms associated with COVID-19 or other illnesses. Parents must be available to pick students up within a reasonable time of notification. 

    For students who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 but do not have symptoms: 

    Students who have been diagnosed with COVID-19, but do not have symptoms must remain out of school until 10 days have passed since the date of their first positive COVID-19 diagnostic test.

    Students are not required to have documentation of a negative test in order to return to school.

    If a student develops symptoms, they cannot return to school until they meet the criteria for students who have experienced at least one symptom.

    For students who have been exposed to COVID-19 and do not have symptoms: 

    Students who have been exposed to COVID-19 and do not have symptoms must remain out of school for 14 days since their last exposure, even if they test negative for COVID-19. If they develop symptoms, they cannot return to school until they meet the criteria for students who have experienced at least one symptom.

     

    **There could be instances in which staff or entire classes must remain out of school for 14 days due to exposure. 

     

    What happens if there is a confirmed case of Covid-19?
