What if my child is sick?

If your child is feeling ill or has any symptoms consistent with COVID-19, if you have been exposed, or if you have tested positive for COVID-19, PLEASE STAY HOME.

Due to current safety protocols and procedures, while at home, if your child has exhibited any physical symptoms that could also be consistent with COVID, or if your child was sent home from school with any of these symptoms, River requires a doctor’s clearance note or a negative COVID PCR test before your child may return to school. Please note that a Molecular PCR test (not a rapid test, antigen test, or antibody test) is required for clearance to return to school for anyone who is unvaccinated.

What if we took a trip?

If your student has traveled outside of the state or country, please follow the current CDPH guidelines for post-travel quarantine:

If your child is not vaccinated, but choose to travel domestically, get tested with a viral test 1–3 days before travel and 3–5 days after travel. Also, even if you test negative, stay home and self-quarantine for a full 7 days after travel.If you don’t get tested, stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel. If you’re not vaccinated, and traveling internationally, follow CDC testing guidelines for international travel before and after your return to the US (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel-during-covid19.html)
