A Note From The School Nurse
October 15, 2020
Hello Families,
I hope this email finds you healthy and in good spirits! Thank you to those who have filled out the daily health screener. Please continue to do so on a daily basis, when your child attends in- person learning. On days that your child is remote, you do not need to fill out the form.
This screening tool is used to help me assess your child on a daily basis. Such a tool will also prompt you to reach out to me regarding specific symptoms. If this screener is filled out accurately, on a daily basis it will decrease the inconvenience of having to pick up your child in the presence of the symptoms below.
Please keep your child home if he or she has any of the symptoms listed below:
Fever (100.0 or above)
Cough (not due to a chronic condition, if chronic cough is present, documentation needs to be given to the nurse)
Difficulty breathing and shortness of breath
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Headache
Muscle aches or body aches
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Fatigue when in combination with other symptoms
Nasal congestion or runny nose (if due to other conditions, documentation needs to be given to the nurse)
Please find the link below for the Daily Health Screener.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jessica Blanchette, RN
