Although It is common for children to catch a cold, or back to school bug this time of year, remember, a cough and runny nose can be a COVID symptom*, err on the side of caution. If your child is at all unwell please keep him/her at home and email:
Classroom Teachers: first initial and last name @rasg.org, ie Jane Smith jsmith@rasg.org
Indicate if your child in grades K-12 will join HAConnectEd during their illness.
If you, or any member of your household, tests positive for COVID, notify Nurse Lynn via: lfriedman@rasg.org, and refer to our Medical Guidelines Handbook at: https://www.hebrewacademymiami.org/haconnected
Returning to campus after an illness:
Children must be symptom free without benefit of medication for at least 48 hours and cleared by a doctor, with a doctor’s note, that is submitted and approved by Nurse Lynn, before returning to school.
If your child has two or more symptoms, he/she will need to be quarantined for 14 days if no COVID test is provided. If a COVID test is completed and the result is negative, then the requirements above are to be followed for returning to school.
*Symptoms of COVID may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms include:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell

Look for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:
Trouble breathing
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
New confusion
Inability to wake or stay awake
Bluish lips or face
Call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you.
