From the Health Office:
As we begin in-person learning, it is important to screen your student each day before coming to school and complete the Safe Access screening tool for COVID19 symptoms. Save it to the homescreen on your phone and set a reminder to complete it every morning before school.
If your student has any of the following symptoms, keep them home:
Minor symptoms:
-Sore throat
-Runny nose or congestion
-Muscle or body aches
-Headache
-Fatigue
-Nausea, vomiting
-Diarrhea
Major symptoms:
-Feverish, chills, or temperature of 100.4 or greater
-Loss of taste or smell
-New or unexplained persistent cough
-shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
