A MESSAGE FROM YOUR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Strong partnership with the school:
The health department is working very closely with the school district. We work quickly to identify COVID19 positive individuals and close contacts to help interrupt the spread of the disease. These individuals remain at home until cleared by public health officials. Your health department clinic, school health team (also public health employees), and school district staff communicate constantly throughout the day. In order to protect the privacy of any individual(s) under investigation and any potential contacts, we will refrain from sharing personal details on cases. If your child becomes part of an investigation, you will be notified by our public health clinical team.
Just a reminder:
Please do not send sick students to school. Please remember to look through the questionnaire below each day prior to sending your child to school.
Daily Health Questionnaire for students:
- Does your child or anyone in your household have any of the following symptoms? (fever 100.4 or above, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, headache, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, new loss of taste or smell)
- Has your child or anyone in the household traveled outside of the country or to any highly affected areas in the United States in the past 14 days?
- Has your child had direct contact (within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes) with anyone who has tested positive with COVID-19 within the last 2 weeks?
- Is there anyone in your household under instructions to self-isolate or quarantine due to COVID-19?
