COVID-19 School Screening
As the COVID-19 surge continues in our county, we want to keep our students and staff healthy with a safe campus when we return to class next week.
To keep our students and staff healthy with a safe campus during these COVID-19 pandemic times, please adhere to the following guidelines:
To keep our students and staff healthy with a safe campus during these COVID-19 pandemic times, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- It is vitally important that you keep your children home if anyone in your household has come into 'close contact' with a COVID positive person within the past 10 days. For example, if you attended a gathering on New Year's Eve and found out today that someone else at that gathering tested positive for COVID-19, you should be isolating until at least 10 days after New Year's Eve (Jan 10th). Assuming you show no symptoms, you could attend classes on Monday, Jan 11th.
- The county defines 'close contact' as being within 6 feet of someone for at least 15 minutes-- those minutes can be all at once or spread out over a day.
- If your child needs to stay home from school for any reason, please call or email the office. In compliance with current county COVID-19 requirements, we have to know why a student is not at school so as to eliminate or confirm COVID symptoms/cases.
- Don't forget to fill out the online COVID screening (link below) and give auntie Pam and Mrs. Beardshear a big thumbs up that you did it! We have to have this filled out every morning before your child enters campus.
- SYMPTOM CHECKER: Low-risk general symptoms are fatigue/muscle or body aches, congestion/runny nose, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, sore throat, headache. High-risk symptoms are fever (99.5 +), cough, difficulty breathing, loss of taste/smell. If your child is experiencing 2 or more low-risk symptoms or 1 high-risk symptom, he/she should not come to school until the symptom is resolved.
