All staff and students must self-screen every day before attending school. BGCDSB will provide parents with a checklist to perform daily screening of their children before arriving at school and self-assessment tools should be made available to staff to ensure awareness of possible symptoms of COVID-19. The province will continue to provide a screening tool for use by all school boards and may update this throughout the school year. Local public health units may designate a commensurate or more restrictive screening tool for local use. All staff and students who are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19 as identified in the screening tool, must not attend school and should follow the guidance provided in the screening tool, which may include seeking appropriate medical attention as required, and/or getting tested for COVID-19.
On-site Screening (if Required)
On-site Screening (if Required)
The ministry may direct school boards to perform daily on-site confirmation of self-screening, such as during a period of potential higher transmission (for example, after a holiday period). If this becomes a requirement we have a process in place to implement on-site confirmation of self-screening of individuals prior to or upon their arrival at school. The principal and those designated within the school will be responsible for ensuring all students, staff and visitors have completed and passed their daily COVID-19 self-screen. Any staff, student, or visitor that does not pass the screening procedures should not attend school.
