Parents need to be attentive to the daily health of their children and are expected to make a commitment to ensure their child is symptom free and safe to attend school each day. This includes being fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.

​

Students and staff members should not attend school if:

​

• they have Covid-19 symptoms

• they have tested positive for COVID-19 (remain at home for 5 days, or until symptoms are gone)

​

Franklin County Public Health recommends that individuals receive the flu vaccination and engage every day in measures to prevent the spread of germs and avoid illness, such as:

​

• ​Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. 

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

• Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

​

The CDC recommends postponing travel and staying home as the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.  Review these CDC travel protocols if you have recently spent time outside of central Ohio.
