The Cherry Creek School District is focused on keeping our students safe and healthy. We strive to maximize each student's potential by removing health-related barriers to learning. We are taking extra precautionary measures to ensure our students continue to have access to in-person learning this school year.  

If your student is ill, notify the attendance office and keep them home from school. If you are unsure if you should keep your student home, please see the CDPHE symptom screening guidance at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VdL-vLQF9t1WQTYwFv8-Tmh_Dcvkbizf/view 

Please also use the symptom tracker daily and keep your student home if it indicates red https://bit.ly/ccsd-health.

The district recommends that the school nurse follow up on multiple consecutive absences due to illness. You may be contacted by one of the registered nurses in the CTHS clinic if your student is absent, two or more consecutive days from school due to illness. Symptoms that the nurses might be asking about include: 

          Minor symptoms
                  *Sore throat
                  *Runny nose/congestion
                  *Muscle or body aches
                  *Headache
                  *Fatigue
                  *Nausea, vomiting
                  *Diarrhea 
          Major symptoms
                   *Feeling feverish/having chills
                   *Temperature of 100.4 or greater
                   *Loss of taste or smell
                   *New or unexplained persistent cough
                   *Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing                    

If students come to the clinic complaining of illness during the school day, they will be sent home if they have 2 or more minor symptoms, or any of the major symptoms.  

Please contact the clinic at 720-886-1996 with any questions or concerns.
