Guidelines for Keeping Children Home from School Due to Illness

On March 1st, 2024, the CDC updated their recommendations on COVID-19. There is no longer a set amount of days a positive student must quarantine for. The recommendation is that they may return to school once feeling better and without a fever for 24 hours with the use of fever-reducing medication. 

Please call with any questions.
