Daily Screening

Staying home when sick is a meaningful way that we protect each other from the spread of COVID-19

Answer these questions for yourself or your child every day before coming to school:

Has your child had any symptoms listed below that are new or different from usual?

• Fever (100.4°F/38°C or higher) or chills
• Cough
• Headache
• Sore throat
• Loss of taste or smell that started in the last ten days (Children may say that food “tastes bad” or “tastes funny”)
• Feeling out of breath or having a hard time breathing
• Diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
• Fatigue
• Muscle aches or body aches

If your child has any of the symptoms above:

• Contact your child’s doctor, and have your child tested for COVID-19.
• Keep your child at home until you get their test results.
• Contact your child’s school.

If you are not fully vaccinated, in the past 10-14 days, have you had “close contact” with anyone who has COVID-19 during their contagious period?

• If your child was fully vaccinated for COVID-19, they can keep going to school. Consider having them tested for 3-5 days after their close contact.
• If your child was not fully vaccinated for COVID-19, they must stay home. Follow the quarantine instructions.

Have you tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 10 days?

• If you or your child(ren) answered yes, please stay at home.
• If you or your child(ren) answered no, you can keep going to school.
