Families should use this Symptoms Checklist every morning before school to check your child for COVID-19 Symptoms.

Our collective health depends on individual attention and responsibility. Note that some symptoms of COVID-19 are the same as the flu, a cold, or allergies; please do not assume it is another condition. When in doubt, stay home.

Below is the full list of symptoms for which caregivers should monitor their children, and staff should monitor themselves.

• Fever (100.0° Fahrenheit or higher), chills, or shaking chills

• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

• New loss of taste or smell

• Muscle aches or body aches

• Cough (not due to other known cause, such as chronic cough)

• Sore throat, when in combination with other symptoms

• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, when in combination with other symptoms

• Headache, when in combination with other symptoms

• Fatigue, when in combination with other symptoms

• Nasal congestion or runny nose (not due to other known causes, such as allergies) when in combination with other symptoms

If staff or students have any of these symptoms, they must get a test for active COVID-19 infection or be cleared by a doctor before returning to school or work.
