Letter Emailed to All Parents Today - When To Keep Your Child Home

Dear Great River Caregivers,

We are following the Minnesota Department of Education’s Decision Making Tree about when to send children home if they start exhibiting symptoms that could be COVID-19.

MDE’s Decision Tree advises that if a student has one “less common” symptom, they may or may not get sent home, depending on how they are feeling.  But, if they have one “more common” symptom, two “less common” symptoms, or any symptom on day 8-14 of quarantine, we would send your child home.

Please remember to follow these guidelines at home as well.  If your child has two “less common” or one “more common” symptoms, please keep them home and let us know by emailing attendance@greatriverschool.org. Take them to get tested and share the results with us before they return. Find more information on free saliva testing here. 

Thank you for your diligence and care in keeping our entire community safe.

Peace,

David
