Students with Symptoms

People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported, ranging from mild to severe. Symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure to the virus.  Symptoms include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and/or diarrhea. 

Students with symptoms may return to school with a negative COVID test as long as symptoms are improving and they are fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications. Students who do not test may return on Day 11 from the onset of symptoms. Families should inform the school immediately if their student tests positive for COVID-19. 

All types of tests are acceptable (antigen, PCR, NAAT). However, if a person with symptoms receives a negative result from an antigen test, it is recommended they remain in isolation pending the outcome of a confirmatory test (any type) taken at least 12 hours after the first test. At-home test kits are available from the school’s health office upon request.

Students Testing Positive for COVID-19

Students who test positive for COVID-19 must stay home for at least 5 days from the first day of symptoms or positive test result. They may return to school on day 6 if all of the following criteria are met:

• They have a negative COVID test (antigen, PCR, or NAAT); AND

• Symptoms are improving; AND

• They have been fever free without fever reducing medication for 24 hours.

It is strongly recommended for students to wear a mask indoors at school on days 6-10.

Students who do not test may return on or after Day 11 from onset of symptoms/positive test if symptoms have improved and they have been free of fever without fever reducing medications for 24 hours.
