We would like to emphasize that students should not be at school when they are not feeling well with respiratory illness symptoms, even if there is not a fever.
Covid-19 for the 2024-2025 school year
Isolation and precautions for students/staff with Covid-19
- Students may return to school when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
- Students’ symptoms are getting better overall, and
- Students have not had a fever for 24 hours (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
Students who test positive for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses:
When students return to school, they should take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional physical distance, masks, and increased hand hygiene.
- Students may still spread the virus even if they are feeling better.
- If students develop a fever or start to feel worse after they have gone back to normal activities, keep them home until both are true again: no fever for 24 hours without fever reducing medication and symptoms are improving.
