Symptomatic Child Non Covid Guidelines
If your child has symptoms and is not feeling well please keep them home until their symptoms are gone. If your child has a fever, diarrhea, or has been vomiting, they MUST be symptom-free for 24 hours without medication before they can return to school. Pink eye or strep throat diagnosis will need to be on the antibiotic for a full 24 hours before they may return to school.

If Your Child Tests Positive for COVID-19
(A test is not required for a symptomatic child, however, if you choose to test and it is positive for COVID-19 please follow the guidelines below.)
Your child must remain home for 5 days since the onset of symptoms OR, if asymptomatic, a positive test result. You then have 2 options:1) If your child is fully asymptomatic on day 5, he/she may return on day 6, wearing a mask. He/she may return to mask-optional on day 11.
2) Your child may remain on virtual learning and return on day 11, mask-optional.
We are accepting home test results. Please write your child's name on the test and email a picture of it to nurse@saintv.org.
