A Message from the Health Room
Welcome Back Rangers!
The Health room is very excited to see our Group E, A, and B children back in school. Our goal is to keep every student and staff member healthy. We can only accomplish this if we work together. If your child has any of these symptoms:
OR
Please keep them home!
If we see them in the health room and they complain of any of the above symptoms, they will be sent home to quarantine for 14 days. At that time, they can attend school virtually but they will not be allowed back in the classroom/building until we receive a negative Covid test or 14 days. Many of these symptoms are similar to seasonal allergy symptoms. Even if you believe your child’s symptoms are seasonal allergy related, please follow the guidelines above and keep them home and attend school virtually until the symptoms subside. Together we can keep our community healthy and our school open during these Covid times.
When should my child stay home and what health checks should families conduct?
