Clinic Information

A safe, supportive learning environment based on the educational, social, mental health and wellbeing of our students is the top priority of the SJCSD.

We ask that you keep your child home if he/she has a fever, virus, or any other contagious disease (i.e., conjunctivitis, influenza, gastrointestinal infections, etc.) Staying home can lower the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Please refer to the guidelines below for guidance and recommendations. Please refer to the Illness and Prevention Guidelines to help determine when to keep your child home.

All COVID-related questions should be discussed with your child’s primary care provider.
