Daily Student Health and Wellness Screening

We are asking parents and caregivers to help us protect the health and safety of all of our students and staff by conducting health screenings for COVID-19 symptoms at home before sending your child into school each day. Please use this checklist to screen your child before they come to school each day.

The student has experienced ANY of the following symptoms within the last 24 hours:

• The student has a fever (100.0 degrees Fahrenheit or higher), shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, persistent cough, chills, sore throat, muscle or body aches, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea or new loss of taste or smell. (As more symptoms are updated by the CDC or other public health agencies, please include those symptoms as well.) If the student develops any of the above-mentioned symptoms, ensure that he/she 1.) isolates immediately; 2.) avoids contact with others; and 3.) remains at home until the symptoms subside or medically cleared by a health professional. The parent/guardian is expected to seek appropriate medical attention and also to notify the School Nurse.

• The student has had close contact with an individual diagnosed or suspected positive of COVID-19 within the past 14 days. Close contact means: living in the same household, caring for, being within 6-feet, or coming in direct contact with secretions (e.g. sharing utensils, being coughed on, etc.) of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 while that person was symptomatic.

• The student has been asked to self-isolate or quarantine by a doctor or health official.

• The student has traveled outside of Massachusetts (if travel is necessary, the student may be asked to remain away from school for 14 days upon returning home to stay in compliance with self-quarantine State of Massachusetts guidelines).

A parent/caregiver must check this list each day before sending the student to school. If any item above has been checked, please keep the student home and notify the school nurse immediately.

Thank you for helping us keep all students and staff safe and healthy!
