Notes from the Nurse

Dear Gator Families,

As we approach the fall months, many of our students may have allergy or cold symptoms due to seasonal allergies and weather fluctuations. It is important that we as a community continue to be mindful that COVID-19 symptoms can also look like typical allergy and cold symptoms. If your child has seasonal allergies and is prescribed allergy medication make sure you contact your provider for any refills they may need. Please utilize our symptom checklist daily at home to screen for symptoms that would require your student to stay home from school. Additionally, please note that if your student has a fever, NEW or worsening cough, loss of taste or smell, or difficulty breathing they should not attend school. Please contact your school nurse with any questions or concerns.
