  • fever of 100°F or above, or chills
  • cough
  • sore throat
  • shortness of breath or trouble breathing
  • fatigue
  • muscle or body aches
  • new loss of smell or taste
  • nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • congestion or runny nose

If you feel that you or your child/ren have symptoms related to COVID-19 please consult your healthcare provider.

The district reserves the right to send your child/ren home following evaluation by a school nurse based on these symptoms or others.
