If your student is feeling unwell, please do not send them to school. As we've been dealing with COVID going on 3 years now, our faculty is (and has been) well prepared to assist students who may need to stay home due to an illness of some kind. No one wants the student to fall behind, least of all, their teachers. Please ensure you are notifying teachers and the nurse if your child will be out due to illness.
Parents/guardians have the primary responsibility for the health and well-being of their children. School health services supplement, rather than substitute, for parental care and concern for the health of the students.
Students with fevers and/or contagious or infectious diseases will be sent home promptly and will be excluded from school while in that condition, according to the Virginia Department of Health regulations. Once the student is confirmed to be free of communicable illness by a health care provider or has a negative home or lab Covid test, AND is fever free/vomit free for 24 hours without taking anti-fever/anti-vomit medications, the student may return to school.
