Message From the Principal and School Health Office
Due to COVID 19, the CDC has placed strict rules on sending students home for illness. If a student has a temperature of 100 or higher, vomits, has a headache, has lost sense of taste / smell, has diarrhea, or respiratory issues, we are required to send home the student. In turn, the parent is then responsible to see their family physician to be cleared to return to school. This would require a COVID test.
Please understand the nurse’s assessment does not indicate a COVID diagnosis. The district must however follow the NYS guidance and CDC requirements, and require that a COVID test be completed as a result of this screening. Please follow-up with your child’s primary care physician, or schedule a test through a local testing site. All visits must be pre-arranged by contacting the provider first by telephone. Do not report directly to a health care provider. An appointment must be made. The health care provider will provide direction on when and how to report.
Prior to returning to school, the district must receive a negative COVID test report or notice of a positive test with the mandated quarantine period completed. The note may be faxed directly to the school nurse or delivered to the school nurse immediately upon arrival to school. If a student arrives without the required health care clearance, the student will not be permitted to attend class and you will be contacted to pick your child up.
Please understand the goal of this process is to ensure the health and well-being of all members of our school-community. We are here to answer any questions you may have or provide information on additional community resources if needed.
