We recognize that students may have chronic conditions that cause COVID-19 symptoms, such as seasonal allergies. In these cases, parents/guardians are encouraged to provide your school nurse with a note from their child's physician listing the chronic condition and associated symptoms. These students are still required to complete the self-certification including a daily temperature check.

Office staff will be expected to obtain specific information about illness from parents/guardians when absences are being reported. Information will be recorded and shared with school nurses and/or appropriate personnel. Families that have medically fragile and immunocompromised students must consult their medical provider prior to attending school.
