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 .

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