COVID Guideline Update 3-4-2024

Along with the CDC, our school has decided that COVID would move into our “general illness” category, along with Influenza, the common cold, enterovirus, etc. for staff and students. There will be no specific COVID-related protocols. This decision was made after conversations with our local Health Dept, DPI, and the surrounding school districts where the majority are moving in the same direction. The CDC recently released the 5-day isolation recommendation as well. Absences linked to COVID symptoms or to a positive test result will not be excused outside of typical illness protocols but will be treated the same as any illness. Staff and students should stay home when ill and may return when feeling better, symptoms have improved, and when fever -free for 24 hours without meds. We do recommend masking, especially in the case of respiratory illness, if a person continues to exhibit symptoms, though we are unable to enforce this.  

 

Any illness treated or seen by a doctor and presented with a note from the doctor will continue to count as a medical excuse.
