If Your Student Is Not Feeling Well
- Fever

Parents must report to our Parent(Student) Reporting Portal and students must stay home until further notice if your student:
- Has had confirmed direct contact outside of school with a covid-positive individual
- Is awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test
- Has tested positive for COVID-19
Always send a hand-written or e-mailed attendance note when your child returns to school to our front office - pricem@fultonschools.org and balzav@fultonschools.org.
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) asked all FCS schools to share this information:
What kind of COVID-related Communication Should We Expect?
- If your child has had direct contact (closer than 6 ft. for longer than 15 minutes) with a confirmed covid-positive individual while at Ridgeview. You will receive a high risk notification. These students can continue coming to school so long as they are asymptomatic and wear a mask for 10 days.
Current procedures updated by the FCS school board on 8/19/21 do not include the former low-risk notification if your child was in the vicinity (like the same classroom at a distance) or the courtesy community notification of each instance of covid-19 at Ridgeview. We will only notify you if your child has had a high-risk contact.
If you are concerned your e-mail on file is out-of-date, please contact our data clerk Ms. Alicia Smith-Purdue at smitha15@fultonschools.org.
