Do not send your child to school if they have a temperature of 100.4 or higher, a sore throat, cough, diarrhea, severe headache, vomiting, or body aches. Also, do not send your child to school if they have had close contact to a COVID-19 case. If you have any questions about whether or not you should send you child to school, please call our office.
