Ill Symptoms - When to keep students home from school & guidance for return

As we return to school, please be aware that COVID continues to be a public health concern that requires schools to follow State and County guidelines. SVSD has a central  web location to help families find the most up-to-date school-related COVID information, including flowcharts to determine when students can return to school.   It is important to understand that COVID and cold symptoms are primarily the SAME, sometimes very minor yet still contagious.  Once COVID is ruled out, use the guidance linked here to help determine when your student would be considered well enough to return. 

Each student’s health status has a direct relation to their ability to profit from educational experiences. Preventing the spread of illness within the school setting is our best tool to keep the students healthy and our school community members play a vital role in this. If there is any question about the student’s health status, please make arrangements to keep him/her at home. This preventive step benefits your child and our school community.
