What To Do If Your Child Is Sick

If your child is unwell, they must stay home. Even if they don't seem to have Covid, or they tested negative, many illnesses are highly contagious AND your child will be uncomfortable in school all day! Please notify your child's teacher and Attendance@ps290.org

What happens if a student has symptoms of COVID-19 or a diagnosis of COVID-19?

  • If a student has any symptoms, such as fever, cough, nausea, runny nose, headache, (see CDC), they must take a Covid test and may return to school only after a negative result and 24 hours. If they had a fever, they can return to school after they have not had fever for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications. 

  • If the child received a positive test for COVID-19, whether they had symptoms OR never had symptoms, they must stay home for 5 days after the date of their positive COVID19 test and may return on day 6 only if masked. 

Please visit the NYC Department of Education website for important updates.
