Updated Information Regarding COVID-19 and Illness:

The Colorado Department of Public Health had updated guidelines for schools for students that are exhibiting COVID symptoms for 48 hours or greater. If your child exhibits these symptoms and is out of school for 2 days, our nurse, Jen Kester, will send you this information and get in touch with you to discuss.

These guidelines are for when a person has had:

- Major symptoms of illness for 24 hours or greater (Loss of taste or smell, fever of 100 or greater, new or worsening cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing)

OR

- Minor symptoms of illness for 48 hours or greater (sore throat, runny nose or congestion, muscle or body aches, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).  

Options:

1. You can take your child to get a PCR COVID-19 test. 

If results are negative, your student may return after they have been fever free for 24 hours without medication, all other symptoms are improving and they can wear a mask. You will need to provide test results to the nurse or administration before their return

2. You can also opt for a 10 day home isolation from the onset of symptoms.

For example, if symptoms began on 1/1/21, you would count 1/2/21 as day 1 and student would isolate through the end of day on 1/11/21 and could return to normal activities on 1/12 as long as they has been fever free for 24 hours without medication and all other symptoms are improving and they can wear a mask

Read-a-Thon: 

Thank you so much for supporting our school with the Read-a-Thon! We had a very successful week and the kids enjoyed our World Read Aloud Day with virtual authors. So far, we have raised over $11,000 to use for science consumable materials for classrooms. Thank you for your help! We greatly appreciate it! 

Valentines Parties:

Thank you families for bringing all of the items for our Valentine's day parties today. This allows us to "quarantine" the materials to ensure health and safety of our kiddos.
