As a reminder, BVSD's illness protocol follows CDPHE's How Sick is Too Sick guidelines, which includes information on COVID-related illness and other common illnesses and guidelines for school attendance. BVSD's health guidance aligns with that of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).

If someone tests positive for COVID, Flu, RSV, or is experiencing any respiratory illness:

• They should stay home until symptoms are improving and for at least 24 hours after fever has resolved without the use of fever-reducing medications

• When going back to normal activities, take added precautions over the next five days, such as hand and respiratory hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. 

Please remember:

• Regardless of COVID status - stay home when sick
• Reach out to your health care provider to discuss testing and treatment options if you think you might have COVID-19 (e.g., you know you have been exposed to COVID-19, or know that COVID-19 is circulating in your community, school, or family and you have symptoms).
• If you think you may have COVID-19, avoid interacting with anyone who is more likely to develop severe disease. Though older adults have the highest risk for severe illness, some children may have medical conditions that increase their risk.

Parents and guardians can log in to their Infinite Campus Parent Portal site to notify School staff of an expected student absence. This will ensure the authenticity of reported absences, while also providing families with improved communication when a student misses class.
