PLEASE READ:
UPDATED COVID-19 INFORMATION
The Attestation form that you complete every morning has a more broad list of COVID-19 symptoms. However, reported symptoms in children include cold-like symptoms such as fever, runny nose, and cough. Oftentimes it may be just one symptom such as a stuffy nose. In addition to the symptoms listed on the attestation form, other symptoms can be sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, headache, muscle or body aches, fatigue, and chills.
If your child is experiencing one or more of these symptoms, please keep them home until they have been evaluated by their healthcare provider.
Effective immediately NC DHHS guidelines state that students may not return to school if they have a negative rapid antigen test. They must remain home until a follow-up PCR test result is received. If your child is being tested for COVID-19 please tell your doctor that you will need a PCR test.
ALL TEST RESULTS MUST BE INTERPRETED BY YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. A negative test result requires a note from the medical provider who assessed the individual and determined that an alternative diagnosis is causing the COVID-like symptoms.
If a household member is being evaluated for COVID-19, all of your children must remain home until an alternative diagnosis is made or a negative PCR test result is received.
