My CFS

COVID-19 Health plan

During this time our goal is to keep the kids safe and in school. We will need your help in order for this school year to be successful. Please be diligent in monitoring symptoms, and reporting exposures to our school office.

We ask for your participation in daily monitoring your child for signs of Covid-19 please keep your child home if they are experiencing any of these symptoms. Per the CDC these are common symptoms:

Fever or chills (a temp equal to or greater than 100.4)

Cough (persistent and new cough that is unrelated to allergies/ asthma)

Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Fatigue

Muscle or body aches

Headache (unrelated to migraines, allergies, or other underlying conditions)

New loss of taste or smell

Sore throat

Congestion or runny nose

Nausea or vomiting

Diarrhea

(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html)

Your child may return to school once symptom free (without fever reducing medication) for 72 hours, or symptom free for 24 hours and a negative Covid-19 test.

Students who have seasonal allergies or other long-term conditions similar to COVID symptoms should have a note to that effect on file in the nurse’s office. This may include anxiety or other mental health issues that present with physical symptoms. Notes explaining the condition and common physical symptoms can be emailed to nurse@cfsnights.org.

If your child presents with one of these symptoms and illness is suspected we will have your child mask, if they are not already, and separate them from others until you are able to pick your child up. Please do so as soon as possible but no later than 90 min.

If your child has had a known exposure, we ask you to notify our office and for you to follow the CDC recommendations of quarantining them for 14 days. We feel this is the number one way we can prevent the spread of Covid in our school and keep children safe in the classroom.

Tips for preventing the spread of COVID and other contagious illnesses:

·      Each child should have their own water bottle

·      Bring a spare mask to school if your child is required to wear a mask

·      Wash and sanitize non-disposable masks after one day’s use

·      Review and practice proper hand washing techniques with your child

·      Wash/sanitize lunch boxes, backpack and other clothing items on a regular basis

·      Keep your child’s immunizations current and up to date

If you have any questions, please contact the CFS nurses at nurse@cfsnights.org.
