“If your children are exhibiting symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea and other flu-like symptoms, please keep them home and call your school for further guidance,” she said. “The school will help you get a rapid test to determine whether those symptoms are COVID-19, and that information is critical to preventing the spread.”
