Screening

• In accordance with the NJ Department of Education requirements for reopening our schools and as outlined in the district plan, we must implement a procedure for safely and respectfully screening students on a daily basis for COVID-19 symptoms. The first step in our protocol requires parents/guardians to use the district provided checklist to conduct a daily health screening each morning prior to sending their child to school for in-person instruction. If a child arrives at school, staff will be on site upon entry to building and each classroom to conduct visual screenings of all students. Any student who present COVID-like symptoms will also be screened by the school nurse.
