Return to School After COVID
Please contact your school nurse if your student tests positive for COVID or is symptomatic to help determine the isolation period.
Generally, isolation is 5 days with masking in public days 6-10.
A negative COVID test is not required if your student is feeling well after day 5.
FMI see the Maine CDC COVID FAQs. This document is updated as changes are made.
The symptoms of fall/spring allergies: congestion, cough, headache, eye redness overlap with symptoms of COVID19.
If your student uses a daily nasal spray or allergy medication in the spring, it may be helpful to have them start the medication(s) a week or two before symptoms usually appear.
Similar to the fall allergy season, we will be recommending contact with the student's healthcare provider for symptoms that overlap with COVID19.
School nurses cannot administer allergy medications or decongestants without parent and healthcare provider authorization. (Medication permission form is linked at the bottom of the page).
The only medications students may self carry are asthma rescue inhalers and epinephrine auto injectors.
Please be sure your student takes any daily allergy medication at home each day.
If your student has asthma, please be sure they have a current inhaler as prescribed. If they need to bring it to school, there should be a current asthma plan on file with the nurse. (Signed by the parent and the health provider). Asthma Plan is linked at the bottom of the page
