Screening
First Point of Screening—Home: Families and staff are encouraged to self-report any symptoms of illness by calling the school. Symptoms include:
A complete list of symptoms can be found on the Center for Disease Control website at: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/publichealth-recommendations.html.
Second Point of Screening—School and Bus: Anyone with visible signs of illness should not travel on the bus.
Final Point of Screening—School: The nursing staff will check for any visible symptoms of COVID-19, as well as follow up with any families previously sick to ensure that they are well. All staff and families will be educated on when they or the children should remain at home, as well as when they can return to school. Employees and students who are sick or were recently in close contact with a person diagnosed with COVID-19 are to stay home. More about what close contact entails can be found at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/publichealth-recommendations.html.
In the unlikely event that a student arrives at school with symptoms, the student will be in an isolated area until a parent/guardian arrives at school immediately after the school nurse informs them.
