Staff and students should not come to school or work if they tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 5 days and/or still have symptoms. 

If a student starts to feel unwell during the school day, staff will help the student to the school’s designated isolation screening room. There a school nurse or trained staff member will assess their symptoms. Parents will be notified if their child needs to be picked up from school.

In our commitment to the health and safety of all students, our staff are asked to be vigilant about assessing students for symptoms of illness.

Please ensure your contact information is up to date in the PowerSchool Parent Portal should you need to be contacted regarding a student illness or otherwise.
