Stay Healthy
To ensure that our community continues to stay safe, please read the information below:
Covid Positive is treated just like Flu or any other respiratory illnesses- If you are fever free for 24 hours you can return to school. If you are positive without symptoms or fever, youc an return to work.
Here is a guide for respiratory illness-
- You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
- Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
- You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
- When you go back to your normal activities, take added precautions over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.
- Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even if you are feeling better. You are likely to be less contagious at this time, depending on factors like how long you were sick or how sick you were.
- If you develop a fever or you start to feel worse after you have gone back to normal activities, stay home and away from others again until, for at least 24 hours, both are true: your symptoms are improving overall, and you have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication). Then take added precaution for the next 5 days.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: FINANCIAL HELP FROM SOCIAL SECURITY MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS
Parents and guardians: We want to tell you about payments that may be available to your child. Your child could be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if they have a disability, and your family has limited income and resources.
Your child could also receive Social Security benefits if they have a parent who receives retirement or disability benefits or who has died.
We believe every student should have the resources they need to succeed in life. If you’re interested in learning more about these programs and how to apply, please visit www.ssa.gov/people/parents/. You can also reach out to our school for more information.
