The act of sending your children to school or coming to work at school indicates that they are healthy. The act of sending your child to school or coming to work at school indicates that the following statements are true.

Neither I (if staff member) nor my child (student) have been in close contact with anyone with suspected or confirmed Covid-19

Neither I (if staff member) nor my child (student) have taken any medication to reduce a fever or any symptoms in the past 72 hours

Neither I (if staff member) nor my child (student) have returned from a COVID-19 “hot spot” within the past 14 days. If a member of our household has returned from a hot spot within the past 14 days, he/she is appropriately isolating from the rest of the family.
