家长s/Guardians - Reporting Student Absences Due to Illness

• 家长s should let their school office / absence line know if their student has symptoms or been diagnosed with COVID, 流感, norovirus (“stomach flu”), or any other illnesses. 
• AAPS school nurses work with school staff to monitor student illness. Student absence  information is critical for AAPS to prevent further spread and protect our most medically vulnerable students and staff. 

COVID 更新 for the 24-25 School Year:

学生 diagnosed with COVID or experiencing any respiratory illness should return to school when:

• Fever-free for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medication,
• their symptoms are greatly improved, and
• they feel well enough to be at school for a full day. 

There is no longer an automatic 5 day isolation period from the day of symptom onset. The AAPS Student and Staff Individual Case Reporting forms have been retired. Masks continue to be welcome in AAPS.
