    1) The flowchart provides guidance for assessing student illness in the absence of a school nurse. It involves checking the student's temperature and observing their appearance, demeanor, and symptoms. 2) If the student has a fever of 100°F or above or appears ill, the parent is called to pick them up. If fever or symptoms are insignificant, the student can return to class. 3) For any student referred to a health care provider, they may not return until an alternative diagnosis is provided, a negative COVID test result, or after 10 days of isolation if no medical evaluation occurred.
