Student Screening

At New Era Christian School, we’re dedicated to providing a healthy and safe learning environment for all our students. If your child has any of the following symptoms, it indicates a possible illness that may decrease their ability to learn and put them at risk for spreading illness to others.

Symptoms

• Temperature 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or feels feverish
• Sore throat
• New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing (for students with chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline)
• Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
• New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever

If the answer is YES to any of the symptoms listed above, your student may return based on the following guidelines:

• Fever: at least 24 hours have passed with no fever, without the use of fever-reducing medications
• Sore throat: improvement (if strep throat: do not return until at least 2 doses of antibiotics have been taken)
• Cough/Shortness of breath: improvement
• Diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain: no diarrhea or vomiting for 24 hours
• Severe headache: improvement
