An important note from Nurse Stone:
Your child must be fever free for 24 hours before they can return to school. If a child has vomited they can not return to school for 24 hours. These are state as well as district policies. Please be mindful not to send your child to school if they are sick especially during this flu season. Thank you for helping to keep Cordero as healthy as possible. 

Information regarding the coronavirus can be found on the CDC's website. No cases have been found in NJ. District Statement
