FROM AHS NURSE OFFICE
As we approach into the winter season and the Holidays, we would like to bring a few important variables to your attention
- Watch your symptoms! Many times, people do not notice their subtle symptoms of stuffy nose, scratchy throat, headache or runny nose that turn out to be COVID symptoms.
- Wear your masks and encourage your teenagers to do that when they are riding in the car with friends, at work, inside the homes of their friends or your home.
- Treat Every Person As if They Were Covid Positive - Please remember that your friends and or other family members might not show symptoms.
- Keep Activities Outdoors & Distanced - If you must move indoors, keep windows and or doors open to create airflow and wear masks.
- Test 7 days after exposure unless you have symptoms earlier - The best time to test after exposure to a COVID positive person is at LEAST five days after exposure but preferably 7 days unless you show symptoms before that time. It is possible to test negative on day four, and test positive on day 8 after exposure.
- If your student is sick, please keep them at home. The only way for us to keep our in-school transmission to the levels that we have had, is to strictly enforce this. Please do not We know this can be inconvenient, but it is necessary in our current climate. Please do NOT send a child to school sick or they will be sent home for 10 days or until a negative COVID test is received. There are very few accommodations to this rule.
- Please be specific why your child is missing school - If your child is tired or missed the bus or you desire to take them to breakfast for the day, just let us know as we are not here to judge. We would really appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
- We Cannot Guarantee a 100% Covid Free Environment - If your teenager has medical issues making them high risk for complications due to COVID, or someone in your home is medically fragile and or at high risk, please be aware that we cannot guarantee a 100% COVID-19 free environment on our campus but with wearing masks, washing hands, cleaning frequently touched surfaces, and staying home when you are sick, can help.
TO REITERATE:
Be aware of your symptoms for the benefit of our community. If you have questions please contact us but we cannot reiterate enough that what we are seeing with students and family members that end of being COVID-19 Positive are RUNNY NOSE, STUFFY NOSE, SORE THROAT, SCRATCHY THROAT, HEADACHE, and the loss of taste and smell which happens a few days in to the virus.
