DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL WHEN SICK.
It is more important than ever to remind our community that children who are ill should be kept home regardless of symptom severity. This includes a cold or flu-type illness. Please do not send your child to school sick!
Remember, illness is not solely determined by temperature. Illness may present as a variety of symptoms including congestion, cough, sniffles, and sore throats. If you're not sure, whether your child should come to school, check out this 'decision tree'. In addition, children with a temperature of 100 degrees or greater will be sent home. We encourage everyone to continue to abide by COVID safety protocol by avoiding large gatherings, maintaining physical distance as much as possible, and wearing a mask.
Thank you for helping us to keep our schools healthy!
SCHOOL GUIDANCE
Our goal is to keep our schools open, and students learning in person, safely. The guidance provided by the Grant County Health District and WA Department of Health (DOH) is subject to change frequently. Here are the most recent requirements for K-12 Covid response protocols:
