When to seek emergency medical attention

*This list is not all possible symptoms. Please call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you.

Call 911 or call ahead to your local emergency facility: Notify the operator that you are seeking care for someone who has or may have COVID-19.

Please report any illness or travel to your child's building school nurse. Guidance will be provided for length of absence needed and instructions for how to return to in-person instruction. All students may attend school virtually, if well enough to do so, until they are cleared to return to the school building. Students may NOT return to in-person instruction without clearance from the nurse.
