Guidance on When Students May Return to School After Illness
We want to ensure the health and safety of all students in our school community. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has guidelines to help families determine when their child is well enough to return to school after being sick.
As the winter season ramps up, we are sharing these guidelines on our website for your convenience. Please review them carefully and refer to them anytime your child experiences symptoms or illness. Following these recommendations helps keep our classrooms healthy and reduces the spread of illness.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office. Thank you for helping us support a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
