Glades Schools Urge Keep Kids Home For Any Illness Symptoms

MOORE HAVEN, FL. -- The Glades County Schools are urging parents to keep children at home if COVID like symptoms or any kind of illness appears or are awaiting tests.

The latest released numbers include 17 staff and students under quarantine at the Moore Haven elementary school, 15 at the Middle-High School, and two at West Glades.

From the announcement:

Please know that in order for us to remain open as a district we MUST have parents and family members cooperate to the following guidelines:

1. IF ANYONE in your home is showing COVID like symptoms or is awaiting a COVID test, DO NOT send your child to school. You must wait until cleared by the Department of Health
2. If a child has ANY kind of illness, they need to stay home until they feel better.
3. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! You contact your child's school nurse AND the Department of Health immediately if you think your student may have COVID signs!!
4. At this time, it is better to err on the side of caution, than sending a student who may be potentially carrying the virus and spreading it through the school.
5. The district and the schools DO NOT make the quarantine or COVID positive decisions. Hence, the reason why you should stay in contact with the Department of Health. Please understand, under Federal Guidelines, the school is unable to discuss or relay this information, it HAS TO come from the Department of Health.
