There has been a confirmed case of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in the Red Room. The student was last on campus on Monday, October 24. Because this illness has been identified in the classroom, we recommend consulting a medical professional if you notice any symptoms.
Please keep your child home if they are experiencing fever or any symptom of greater intensity or frequency than what is normally experienced. Before children can return to school, they must meet the following criteria:
- Fever and symptom-free without the use of symptom-reducing medications for at least 24 hours
- As this is a respiratory illness with similar symptoms to COVID-19, we will need either a note from a medical provider, two at-home antigen Covid tests taken 24-48 hours apart, or a PCR test before a student can return to school. Submit the note and/or test here. While we recognize that a Covid test may be more expedient, we highly recommend visiting a healthcare provider should your child develop symptoms.
Symptoms of RSV include congestion, runny nose, fever, cough and sore throat. Additional information regarding RSV can be found here.
If your child will be missing school, please remember to fill out the Student Absence Form to ensure that everyone who needs to be notified is kept in the loop.
Contact the office if you have any questions.
