Western Sky Middle School
Week of August 16, 2021
Health Safety
As we see a rise in COVID-19 cases in our area, we recommend students wear a mask to school. This is not a mandate, but a recommendation. Our goal is to provide a safe environment for our students and staff.
Nurse Webb
Home is the first point on the screening continuum.
Students and staff must not come to school if exhibiting ANY of the following symptoms:
fever of 100.4 degrees or higher
chills
shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
muscle aches
sore throat
headache
fatigue or lethargy
congestion or runny nose
Red, itchy eyes with drainage
cough
vomiting
diarrhea
new loss of taste, smell or appetite
Attached you will find four flyers from the Maricopa County Health Department that have valuable information:
- If your child is feeling ill, do not bring them to school.
- If someone in your household is getting tested for COVID, please do not bring any children to school until the tests confirm a negative result.
- If someone in your household is positive for COVID your student must isolate right away.
- Please let your child's teacher and our school nurse know right away!
