Dear Parents/Guardians,
We want to thank you for your continued support this school year. As we enter cold and flu season, we want to remind you of the protocols set forth by DHEC in regard to student illness. If a student has a fever of 100.4F or 100F with additional symptoms, they should not come to school. They may return when they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever lowering medication such as Motrin or Tylenol. Additionally, School Nurses are still required to exclude students with a new or worsening cough, difficulty breathing, or loss of taste or smell. This is the DHEC exclusion list. This list can serve as a helpful resource when deciding if your student is well enough to attend school. We are always available to discuss your concerns and help answer questions.
Thank you,
Rebecca Kopp, RN (Lower Campus)
