Message from the School Nurses Regarding Seasonal Allergies
During the school year when allergy season begins, it is important to keep in mind that if your child suffers from seasonal or environmental allergies, please keep in mind that many allergy symptoms overlap with COVID-19 symptoms. Please note, in the absence of diagnostic testing, we are unable to differentiate between symptoms related to allergies and those related to COVID 19. Consistent with our illness protocol, students exhibiting symptoms as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Department of Secondary Education (DESE), will be required to follow our illness protocol to protect the health and wellness of our school community.
