As schools open for more in-person instruction, the Fayetteville-Manlius School District nursing staff is reminding staff and families to stay vigilant and monitor COVID-19 symptoms to keep schools safe and open for in-person instruction.
The district continues to follow the guidance in the New York State Department of Health Pre-K to Grade 12 COVID-19 Toolkit when determining if a child can attend school and when staff can go to work.
If a student is absent from school with one or more of the symptoms from the list below, or is sent home with one of these symptoms, parents/guardians will be required to provide either a negative COVID-19 test result and/or a note from the student’s physician with an alternate diagnosis (stating COVID-19 is not suspected) prior to the student returning to in-person instruction.
The following COVID-19 symptoms should be monitored:
- Fever or chills
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Abdominal pain
- Stomachache
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
Even after being vaccinated and/or having tested positive for COVID-19 in the past, if a student gets new COVID-19 symptoms, they will still need to get tested and/or have a physician’s note as stated above.
Questions related to return-to-school procedures after an illness, or whether a student or staff member should attend school if exhibiting symptoms, should be directed to the student’s or staff member’s school nurse listed below.
