Flu Exclusion Reminder
Our exclusion policy for flu is 5 days or fever free for 24 hours w/o fever reducing meds, WHICHEVER IS LONGER. This is similar to our covid policy. If your student is diagnosed with the Flu they are out a minimum of 5 days. This guideline comes from KDHE. I know it is not ideal, but it is what it is. For the health and safety of everyone please abide by this!
Student Dental Treatment
The dental team will be here the week of April 30-May 2 to complete dental treatments.
Covid Guideline Reminders
If someone tests positive, they are to be isolated for 5 days. They MAY return on day 6, if they have symptom improvement and have not had a fever for 24+ hours, without fever reducing meds. Day 0 is the day symptoms started.
We are no longer contact tracing, those that have been exposed are not required to stay home. If exposed, watch for symptoms. If symptoms develop, isolate and test.
We currently have a covid only test, a flu/covid combo test, and at home covid tests.

8th Grade Students Baby Pictures Needed
We are requesting three baby pictures of each 8th grade student for the 8th grade video. This video is shown at our 8th grade Awards Assembly at the end of the year in May with we celebrate our 8th graders' promotion to GHS. These pictures will be scanned and given back to students to take home. Or you can send them electronically to Mr. Bailey at Rbailey@galena499.org
