Health Alert/ Alerta de Salud

JFK Families: As we approach the end of this school year, we would like to remind you that it is still extremely important to keep following our school district’s guidelines as it relates to COVID-19 to ensure everyone's health and safety.

Students with the following symptoms must stay home:

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Sore throat
  • Body or muscle aches
  • Nasal congestion 
  • Runny nose
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • New loss of taste or smell

In order to return to school, parents must follow one of two options:

  1. Your child can either be evaluated by a doctor and get a clearance note to return to school; or 
  2. has to be quarantined for 10 days from the beginning of symptoms with a virtual learning option.

If tested for Covid, students must wait for their results before returning to school. School nurses must be notified and have to give clearance in order for students to return back to school.

We understand that some students suffer from allergies, but only a doctor could provide clearance for a child with such symptoms.

We appreciate your understanding and compliance with these guidelines as we work to keep JFK healthy and safe.  Thank you.

Familias de JFK: A medida que nos acercamos al final de este año escolar, nos gustaría recordarles que aún es extremadamente importante seguir las pautas de nuestro distrito escolar relacionadas al COVID-19 para garantizar la salud y la seguridad de todos.

Los estudiantes con los siguientes síntomas deben quedarse en casa:

  • Fiebre
  • Tos
  • Dolor de cabeza
  • Fatiga
  • Dolor de garganta
  • Dolores corporales o musculares
  • Congestión nasal
  • Nariz que moquea
  • Náusea
  • Vómitos
  • Diarrea
  • Nueva pérdida del gusto u olfato

Para regresar a la escuela, los padres deben seguir una de dos opciones:

  1. Su hijo puede ser evaluado por un médico y obtener una nota de autorización para regresar a la escuela; o
  2. Debe estar en cuarentena durante 10 días desde el inicio de los síntomas con una opción de aprendizaje virtual.

Si se evalúa para Covid, los estudiantes deben esperar sus resultados antes de regresar a la escuela. Las enfermeras escolares deben ser notificadas y deben dar permiso para que los estudiantes regresen a la escuela.

Entendemos que algunos estudiantes sufren de alergias, pero solo un médico puede dar autorización para a un niño con tales síntomas.

Agradecemos su comprensión y cumplimiento de estas pautas mientras trabajamos para mantener a JFK saludable y seguro. Gracias.
