COVID-19 Symptoms
The following symptoms could indicate a COVID-19 infection. Students displaying any of the following symptoms that are new or not normal for your child this time of year, and not attributed to a health condition will NOT be allowed in school. Your student is considered symptomatic if they have one of the symptoms marked with a (*) or two of the other symptoms above baseline for them:
- Cough*
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing*
- New loss of taste or smell*
- Congestion or runny nose
- Fever (100.4 or greater) or chills
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Sore throat
Not everyone with COVID-19 displays all of these symptoms. For many, symptoms are mild, with no fever. It is important to know that you can still transmit the virus to others even if you have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Additionally, if your child has a fever, diarrhea, OR vomiting ALONE, you should keep your child home for at least 24 hours or until symptoms are resolved. If allergies are something that your child displays this time of year and it isn't listed as one of their Health Conditions, please call the Health Room at 560-8403, so they may add "seasonal allergies" to your child's health record.
When calling the Attendance Line (56-8403) to report your child's illness, you must include all symptoms they are experiencing.

Extended Absences & Access to Learning
At any time you can access your child's classroom by clicking the button below and finding your child's homeroom teacher. These are updated at the start of each week. However, it is best to check the daily assignment at 8:00 a.m. or later to see the most updated version of what is being taught that day.
Because our school devices are not insured by families, devices are only being sent home if an illness is anticipated to be 5+ days. Otherwise, if you'd like to access these assignments for shorter absences, you will need to utilize your own home device.

Free Meals
USDA EXTENDS FREE SUMMER MEAL PROGRAM
On Monday, August 31, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service unexpectedly announced the extension of their free student meals program that began during the summer. As a result, student breakfast and lunch will be free on the days that students are learning at school face-to-face, and the days that students are learning virtually. This free meal program will continue until the USDA confirms that funding is no longer available or until December 31, 2020, whichever comes first.
When this free meal program ends, families will be charged for meals through their child’s Skyward Family Access account based on their student meal status, whether free, reduced or standard price. Click the HERE for more information on receiving free and reduced student meals after the free meal program ends.
It still is important for families who are eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch to apply and complete the application now as allows you access to other benefits within our district regarding potential fee waivers, etc.
