Daily at Home Health Screening & Reporting
Slowing the spread and keeping our students and staff healthy will require your daily support. While our team will be trained to visually screen for symptoms, and our students will be trained to self-report symptoms should they arise, your daily screening will be key to our success. You know your child, their health history, and their moods. Additionally, you are aware of their normal body temperature and are best equipped to detect any changes day-to-day. To help slow the spread & limit exposure of our students and staff to COVID-19, students must not come to school if they exhibit any of the following symptoms*
Prior to school, parents/guardians are required to screen each student with the following questions:
- Do you have any of the following?
– Fever of 100.4 degrees or higher, or chills;
– Cough
– Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing;
– Muscle or body aches;
– Headache;
– New loss of taste or smell;
– Sore throat;
– Change in congestion or runny nose, not related to allergies;
–Nausea;
– Vomiting;
– Diarrhea
*This list may not include all possible symptoms. The CDC will continue to update this list as more is learned about COVID-19. A student with daily runny nose or congestion due to allergies should not be kept at home. - Since you were last at school have you been diagnosed with COVID-19?
– Yes
– No - Have you had close contact with (within 6 feet for at least 10 minutes) someone diagnosed with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, or has any health department or health care provider been in contact with you and advised you to quarantine?
– Yes
– No
If anyone has any of these symptoms, they should stay home, stay away from other people, contact a healthcare provider, and get tested, if possible.
If you have answered “yes” to any questions above, experienced any of the listed symptoms or have a temperature reading of 100.4 or higher, please remain at home and contact your child’s school.
Reporting
Parents must self-report symptoms to the school and must keep children home if they have any symptoms present or have a household member who has contracted COVID-19.
Parents are required to report a positive COVID-19 test for their student, or any person residing with a student. Review the REPORTING PROCEDURES FOR COVID-19 SYMPTOMS or a positive test section of this document.
Note: Students may be able to access the Streaming Contingency and will be able to make up work missed due to symptoms of COVID-19. Schools will not give out attendance awards for the duration of the COVID-19 health crisis.
