Severe respiratory illness plus one symptom may result in isolation:

Please Remember: 

• Always wear a mask indoors.

• Wash your hands with soap and water frequently.
• If you feel sick, stay home or ask to see the school nurse or administrator.
• If you are a close contact, unvaccinated and symptomatic, you must quarantine for the full ten (10) days regardless of a negative test.
