Thank you for partnering with the South-Western City School District to help keep our students and staff members safe and healthy.
Keep children at home if they exhibit any of these COVID-19 symptoms:
- Fever of 100.4°F or higher
- New or worsening cough
- Loss of taste or smell
- Shortness of breath
- Sore throat
- Diarrhea or vomiting

*For children with chronic medical conditions (such as allergies, asthma, or migraine), symptoms should represent a change from their usual health status.
*If you think your child has a medical emergency or life-threatening condition, always call 911 immediately.
*Children without any of the symptoms listed above who have non-specific symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, fatigue or body aches should be kept at home if their care giver suspects their child may have an infection.
