School Nurse Notes
Help lower the spread of respiratory illnesses:
Last year we hardly saw any respiratory illnesses and certainly no influenza. This year, right from the start, we have been seeing respiratory viruses circulating (that are not COVID). We know this because most children are following the health department's illness guidelines, getting tested and many results are negative for COVID-19.
- If your child has a COVID-19 test and it's negative, they may return to school when:
- It has been 24 hours or more of no fever without the use of fever-reducing medicine, AND
- Other symptoms have resolved or markedly improved.
- Please consider your child's symptoms before sending them back to school. For example, if they are still coughing, having a drippy nose or have low energy, they may not be ready for a day of learning, interacting with peers or wearing a mask for a good portion of the day. Keeping your child home also helps to minimize the spread of those respiratory germs to other children!
Please continue to fill out the Ruvna app each morning.

Ticks are hardy and stubborn and still active!
- Check your body DAILY for ticks.
- Check out the CDC's website for helpful information about tick bite prevention, tick identification, tick removal and symptoms to look for during tick season.
Be well,
