All students, employees or visitors at any school or district building must affirm their wellness to be on campus.  Anyone exhibiting any symptoms should stay home and consult with their health professionals to make a plan for a safe return.

While attendance at school and work is critical for the success of students, no one should come to any school campus or school district building if they are unwell or exhibiting any symptoms.

Employee and Visitor Self-Screening

Employees will complete a self-screening tool to affirm their wellness each day prior to entering any school or district building. 

Student Screening

As a part of the opening of school documents, all parents will receive and need to complete the Student and Parent 2020-2021 Wellness Responsibilities and Expectations form and return the signed portion to their school.  This form denotes that all students and parents understand that it is their responsibility each day during the school year to: 1) ensure their child is well, as outlined by the screening questions, prior to entering a school or district building and 2) that if their child becomes ill during the school day, the parent/guardian will make arrangements for their child to be picked up as soon as possible following notification.

Periodically throughout each day, teachers and/or school-based staff will do informal check-ins with students to ensure all students are feeling well. 

Self-Screening Questions

Before entering a school or district building, you should assess your wellness with the following questions:

1. Have you experienced any of these symptoms, not associated with previously diagnosed conditions, in the past 72 hours:
   
   • Fever greater than 100.4/chills
   • Cough/shortness of breath
   • New loss of taste or smell
   • Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea
   • Experienced multiple symptoms

2. In the last 14 days, have you:
   
   • been in close contact with anyone who h as been diagnosed with COVID-19;
   • been placed on quarantine for possible contact with COVID-19;
   • traveled abroad or to an area of the country where it is recommended that you self-quarantine;
   • had a COVID-19 test pending

If anyone (student, employee, visitor) shows any symptoms or conditions it is extremely important that they not enter any school or district building and should contact their healthcare provider for guidance.
