Dear Parent or Guardian,

The COVID-19 pandemic has been hard on our community. The nurses at Elko County School District are working hard to keep our students and staff safe. Please help us out by checking your child (children) daily for the following symptom(s):

• Fever/chills Cough
• Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Congestion/runny nose

   New loss of taste or smell

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Sore throat

  If your child has any of these symptoms please keep them home and call your child's school.

  Your child can return to school when:

• At least 24 hours have passed since recovery, meaning that it has been 24 hours of the individual having no fever (measured temperature of 100.0 F or greater) without the use of medications and an improvement in symptoms; AND
• At least 10 days have passed since the individual first displayed symptoms of COVID-19

OR

• It has been at least 24 hours since recovery AND
• A health care provider has certified that the student does not have suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

Our top priority is to promote the health and safety or all of our students and staff. Thank you for helping us protect all members of our community.

Please contact your school nurse if you have any questions regarding these guidelines.
