Dear Parents/Guardians,
The school health office requests your support in helping us keep all students safe and healthy while at school. It is my hope that this letter adds clarity regarding the circumstances when it is inappropriate to send your student to school. As a community, we are still battling COVID-19 and have officially entered allergy, cold, and flu season. However, it is unnecessary to keep your student out of school for every symptom or illness. Please utilize the below graphic should you question whether or not your student should attend school. It is important to make a conscientious decision and recognize also when your student’s symptoms may interfere with their ability to learn, and if so, to keep them home. Please also remember that the health office is able, with signed consent, to administer over-the-counter (OTC) medications (Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, cough syrup/drops, Benadryl/Claritin/Zyrtec/Allegra) to your student. You are responsible for providing any OTC medication to the health office. Consent forms can be obtained through the health office.
