Illness and Returning to School Guidelines

If your student if experiencing any illness symptoms, please refer to these return-to- learn guidelines from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Education (CDPHE):

If your student is experiencing fever, diarrhea, and/or vomiting they must be 24-hours symptom free without medication from their last episode to return to school. If symptoms are explained by a specific illness please see criteria for exclusion from school in the CDPHE Infectious Disease Guidelines in Childcare and School Settings.

If you have any questions regarding when your student can return to school, please contact your school’s health office.
