If Symptoms Appear Before or After School

Anyone with a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher should not come to school or a NISD facility.

Please prescreen students for any of the following symptoms prior to coming to school, and stay home if exhibiting in a way that is abnormal for them:

• • Feeling feverish or a measured temperature greater than or equal to 100.0 Fahrenheit

  • Loss of taste or smell

  • Cough

  • Difficulty breathing

  • Shortness of breath

  • Fatigue

  • Headache

  • Chills

  • Sore throat

  • Congestion or runny nose

  • Shaking or exaggerated shivering

  • Significant muscle pain or ache

  • Diarrhea

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Please refer to ATTENDANCE GUIDELINES available here when deciding whether a student or staff member should attend school

  • For symptoms that persist for 72 hours, please consider having a COVID test. Click here for Testing Locations in your County.

So I received a notification letter from the district...now what?

• • Does this mean my child was a "close contact"? No, it means they shared a class or group activity with a positive individual. Per current NISD protocols, you can choose to send your child to school while monitoring for symptoms.

  • Does my student have to quarantine? Not necessarily. Please refer to ATTENDANCE GUIDELINES available here when deciding whether a student should attend school. Alert the attendance office so they can note the reason for the absence.

  • Does my student need a test? Not necessarily. If they have not been exposed and are not displaying any symptoms, families may elect not to test. If a student is experiencing specific symptoms while on campus, they may be tested in the clinic. (see School Health Clinic Procedures for more information). Click here for Testing Locations in your County.

  • My letter says my child shares three classes. What does that mean...3 people or 1 person in 3 classes? It means that your child shares 3 classes with 1 person who tested positive. It does indicate the frequency of potential contact. You would get one letter for each case in that class and each letter shows how many classes they share with the individual.

(as of 9/2/21)

If Symptoms Appear While on Campus

School Health Clinic Procedures (as of 9.2.21):

• Temperature and symptoms will be checked in the clinic to determine whether isolation is indicated. A student’s medical history will be considered when determining whether a student should be excluded.

• Parents of students who are sent to the clinic for COVID symptoms during school hours will have the option to have their student screened for COVID. Parent permission is required and the Consent for COVID Testing form must be completed. The access code for Wilson is ZGM7S4.

• Students who present to the clinic with symptoms that could be COVID or another influenza-like-illness may be offered a face covering or mask, if they cannot be isolated from others and for the health and safety of others, until a parent or guardian can take them home.

• When indicated, a student will be isolated from others until picked up by a parent or guardian in the campus clinic and should be picked up within 30 minutes and no later than 1 hour from the time the campus contacted the student’s parent or guardian.
