Since returning from break, all students diagnosed with COVID should have clearance by their primary care provider before returning to PE/recess. The student should then undergo and gradual return to play process. Their doctor should be encouraging parents to monitor at home for symptoms that may be concerning. If you have a student that complains of chest pain, shortness of breath with minimal activity, abnormal heartbeat, or extreme dizziness with activity, please call me and have them walked to the health office to be assessed. The effect on activity is different for everyone. It can take time for individuals to return to their baseline activity level.
This is not retroactive for students previously diagnosed prior to break. If you have a student restricted from PE, you have been notified. I will try my best to email you once they are cleared.
As always, please let me know if you have questions or concerns about a student.
