If any child exhibits COVID-19 symptoms, we call their parents and expect the child to be picked up immediately. People exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms will be required to either present a negative COVID-19 test (PCR or rapid) result or complete five days of isolation in order to return to campus. The details surrounding returning to campus can be found here.
Under no circumstances will any person be allowed to return to campus with a fever. Students must always be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning, regardless of test results. If the twenty-fourth hour post-fever falls during a school day, please wait until the following school day before your child returns.
Any absence from school, regardless whether it is caused by COVID-19, must be reported through the AUXS Safety App. If the absence is related to illness, one of the School Nurses will follow up with the family. Any reports of illness submitted through the AUXS Safety App over a weekend or holiday will be addressed during the next business day. In such instances, families should plan to keep children home until one of the School Nurses can speak with you and provide the necessary next steps.
