SPS Procedures for Cold & Flu Season during the Pandemic

With the onset of the traditional cold & flu season and the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, Superintendent Dr. Lucero has clarified procedures families should follow if their child is not feeling well. Dr. Lucero explains

“As the cold, flu and allergy season is upon us, it is important to reiterate what you should do if you or your child has only one of the key COVID-19 symptoms, such as a cough. Please contact your primary care doctor to determine if the symptom can be attributed to an alternate diagnosis, such as a common cold or allergies. Your doctor will determine the appropriate care and whether it is appropriate to attend school. The medical provider should document the alternative diagnosis with a note that can be provided to the school nurse. However, remember, if a member of staff or a child has been exposed to, or diagnosed with COVID-19, please report this to your school nurse.”
