Health and Safety Information
We use CDPHE Infectious Disease Guidelines and How Sick is Too Sick (CDPHE) as a guideline to determine when children/staff should stay home.
Below are the main reasons to keep your children at home. They are when your child is:
- at risk of infecting others with COVID-19 or another contagious illness, either because of symptoms or recent close contact.
- does not feel well enough to take part in usual activities. For example, a child is overly tired, fussy or will not stop crying.
- needs more care than teachers and staff can give while still caring for the other children.
- has symptoms or an illness is on this exclusionary list, and staying home is required.
We follow CDC guidelines for COVID-19 protocols, which were updated in March of 2024.
- The guidance is simple and aligns with guidance for other respiratory viruses, including flu and RSV. Stay home until your symptoms improve and you have been fever free (without medication) for 24 hours. When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next five days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.
Please note that these illness policies and COVID protocols are based on currently available CDC/CDPHE/DU regulations. They are subject to change depending on the public health trends throughout the school year.
