COVID-19 Q&A
What are we doing on campus to stop the spread?
- Wash/sanitize their hands frequently,
- Wear a mask inside and outside,
- Keep a safe distance, when possible
Teachers are working hard to make sure that these mitigation strategies are becoming routine. If you can help remind students of these measures when they are at home that would help us tremendously!
My Child is Sick? Now What?
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
Please make sure that you call (619-336-8200) or email the office (bcarson@nsd.us, vgarcia@nsd.us or gacosta@nsd.us) to let us know that your child will not be coming to school because they are sick. The office will let you know when and how your child can return to school.
If someone in your home has tested positive for COVID-19 please alert the offie as soon as possible so that we can advise you on next steps.
We are following the San Diego County Office of Education COVID-19 Decision Tree when children are sick. Please contact Ms Meghann if you have any questions. The Decision Tree changes frequently depending on guidance.
How Can You Help Stop the Spread?
- If you are on campus to pick up your child at dismissal please consider wearing a face covering, regardless of vaccination status.
- Wear a mask when you enter the front office.
- Remind your child(ren) of the mitigation strategies to stay healthy (wear a mask, wash hands and keep distance)
Why Was My Child Sent Home?
COVID-19 symptoms include:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting

- Have your child tested. If their test is negative they will need to stay home until symptoms have improved according to existing school policy, typically 24 hours without fever and no use of fever-reducing medicine. Please bring/submit their negative test result to the office.
- If you opt not to test your child they will need to stay at home for at least 10 days after symptom onset, or the date a positive test sample was collected, whichever is earlier. Return on or after Day 11 with improving symptoms if fever free and no use of fever reducing medicines in the last 24 hours
