Guidelines for Keeping Students Home
As a reminder, we are required to follow IDPH and ISBE regulations in order to remain open for in-person instruction.
If your student has ANY of the following symptoms, your student and all siblings must stay home from school:
- fever (100.4 or higher)
- new onset of moderate to severe headache
- shortness of breath
- new cough
- sore throat
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- abdominal pain from unknown cause
- new congestion/runny nose
- new loss of sense of taste or smell
- nausea
- fatigue from unknown cause
- muscle or body aches
Your student may return to school after receiving a negative COVID test or receiving an alternative diagnosis from a doctor. Asymptomatic siblings may also return at this time.
If you do not obtain either a negative COVID test or alternative diagnosis, your student, and siblings, must stay home for 10 days from onset of symptoms AND have been symptom free for 24 hours.
Thank you for continuing to be vigilant as we navigate this school year together!
