2022-2023 Guidelines for Illness

• No quarantines from school exposures - If there is a positive in the classroom, the health office will notify parents of possible exposure. The health office will advise parents to watch for symptoms. If symptoms occur, then students will be advised to remain out of school and follow up with the Health office.Please notify Health Office via email: nurse@kingsschool.info or call 518-654-6230.

• Students who have cold symptoms - fever, cough,  vomiting,and or GI upset, as always, they must stay home if they are sick and test for COVID. An at-home test is sufficient. The school can supply tests upon request while supplies last. If they test negative, they may return to school with improved symptoms (at least 75%), fever-free and no vomiting for 24 hours. Let's remember that there are many other viruses out there as well, and we don't want children coming to school sick and spreading it to other families. Please inform the Health Office of any absence to avoid being called. 

• Positive for COVID-19 - If your child tests positive for Covid-19, your child must isolate for 5 days. If your child is fever free for 24 hours they may return to school wearing a mask for the next five days through day 10 of the virus.  (Your child does not need to test before returning to school and, in fact, it is not recommended that they test because the results can be misleading.)

• Living with a positive COVID-19 family member - Positive family members should be isolated. Exposed symptom-free students can return to school masked for 10 days post-exposure.  

• If your child has chronic allergies, please notify the health office at the beginning of the school year. If your child suddenly has allergy symptoms that are not managed with their allergy care plan from their provider they must test for COVID. Once they are negative for Covid, they may return to school with managed symptoms.

• Sports/Theater/Dance - No masking required.  Currently no testing for participation is needed.  Weekly testing for participation may be needed if the county deems to have high levels of COVID-19 again as we head into the late fall and early winter.  A home COVID-19 test or a school administered test would be sufficient to satisfy this recommendation. (Again, school can provide you with a Covid test as needed while 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via email or phone.  We greatly appreciate you helping us care for our children.
