A Note from the Nurse

Parents, please remember that a student should not come to school if any of these symptoms are present in the previous 24 hours:

Elevated temperature of 100.0 degrees or greater. The child shall remain fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications before returning to school.
Quick onset of cold, sore throat, or persistent cough. Persistent cough interrupts the child’s ability to concentrate and is disruptive to the classroom learning environment.
Vomiting, nausea, or severe abdominal pain.
Repeated diarrhea the day or night before school.

Our full attendance guidelines for Covid-19 or any other illnesses can be found HERE. Contact our nurse team with any questions or concerts at Nurse@GreatHeartsArlington.org.
