Messages from the School Nurse
Each day it is imperative that parents monitor and screen their child’s health prior to sending
them to school. Please look for new, unexpected or worsening symptoms that include: feeling feverish,
a measured temperature greater than or equal to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, loss of taste or smell,
coughing, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, sore throat, headache, chills, congestion/
runny nose (not related to seasonal allergies), muscle or body aches, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, or
diarrhea. If your child has any of these symptoms (even just one symptom) please keep them
home and complete the Student Health Screener so that the school nurse can contact you
regarding return-to-school criteria. Please be aware that readmission guidelines are different this school
year so your child may need to stay home longer even if they are feeling better. Thank you for your
cooperation with this as we seek to keep Yale as safe and healthy as possible.The RISD student
screener must be filled out for all students both face to face AND virtual. Student Google login
information is being sent home to all families. Please keep this information in a safe place as you
need your child(ren)’s Google login information to complete the health screener.

       *RISD requires a weekly student screener to be completed each Tuesday*
