Otselic Valley Central School District

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM OUR SCHOOL NURSE >> Dear Parents/Guardians: Currently we have a nasty stomach bug going around and allergy/COVID-19/cold symptoms. Please remember we must follow our COVID-19 symptom protocols. This has not changed. The only change noted has been the removal of face masks. If your child is sick with any COVID-19 symptoms, they need to stay home until their symptoms are better and we have proof of a negative at home test. You can email a picture of the results to smorse@ovcs.org. You also have the option of keeping them out for 5 days. We have at-home tests we can give you to assist with the testing. As in the past, while we want your children in school, we do not want them in school when they are sick. There are other illnesses besides COVID-19 that are contagious. So please, if your child is sick, keep them home. Children may return from a stomach bug 24 hours after their last vomiting episode and they can eat something. Here are the COVID-19 symptoms: Mrs. Stacie Morse, RN Otselic Valley School Nurse
