Required Daily Student and Staff Health Screenings

Student Daily Health Screener
To assist in keeping all students and staff as healthy and safe as possible, all parents are responsible for screening their child(ren) using the two-part health screener below before sending them off to school.

Part 1: Exposure Determination
In the past 14 days, has your child been near (within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes) a person who has a lab confirmed case of COVID-19, or have you had direct contact with their mucus or saliva?

If the answer to Part 1 is "YES", the student  must not come to school or school-related events (practices, social events, clubs, sports, etc.).  Parents are asked to call the school and inform the building nurse as soon as possible.  Employees are to call their immediate supervisor and the building nurse as soon as possible. 

Part 2: Symptoms Check
In the last 48 hours, has your child had any of the following symptoms?

• Fever of 100.4 F or above (or symptoms like alternating shivering and sweating)
• New cough
• New trouble breathing, shortness of breath or severe wheezing
• New chills or shaking with chills
• New muscle aches
• Sore throat
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• New loss of smell or taste, or a change in taste
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Headache, congestion or runny nose (with no known other cause such as allergies)
  
  

If the answer to any symptom is "YES", and the symptoms are not attributable to another known cause the student must not come to school or school-related events (practices, social events, clubs, sports, etc.).  Parents are asked to call the school and inform the building nurse as soon as possible.
