How sick is too sick?

We would like to send a reminder about keeping our school and community healthy. St Vrain Valley School District follows Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) guidance for routine decisions about when children should stay home from school. Guidance regarding most symptoms can be found in the “How sick is too sick?” document. 

Key points include:

• Please do not send your student to school if he/she is experiencing symptoms that require him/her to stay home.
• Fever is considered a temperature of 100.4° or higher. The child may return to school or child care if the fever has been resolved for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications.
• For vomiting, the child may return 24 hours after their last episode of vomiting.

This guidance applies throughout the school year, but is especially important during the cold and flu season. For questions, please reach out to Jenn Byxbe or our health clerk, Karley Benyamna.
