The CDC has changed guidelines for Covid illness and it will now be treated like any other respiratory virus. Your student will no longer require a five (5) day isolation period before returning to school. Your student will now be able to return to school once they start to feel better with symptoms improving. However, your student must still be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicine (Tylenol or Ibuprofen, etc.) before coming back to school.
You may take additional precautions for five days upon return to school such as wearing a mask and social distancing, but this is not a requirement for returning to school.
Please call Nurse Marla at Riverton Parke at 765-569-2045, or email her (hasbrouckm@swparke.k12.in.us) if you have any questions.

Please make sure addresses are updated along with telephone numbers. If you have had a change, please contact our office so our secretary can make those changes. We appreciate it!
