Covid-19 Parent Screening Tool: Tomorrow we welcome students back to school and we are excited for their return. There has been lots of work happening behind the scenes within our school district and with our public health units to make sure the return to school is a safe one. Earlier this week we received the Parent Screening Tool from our local health units. Public health recommends that screening be completed each day before children leave for school. The purpose of this ...screening tool is to help parents and guardians make decisions about whether or not their children can attend school. No personal information is requested when using the tool, which means that you and your child cannot be personally identified or linked to your responses. Using this tool is voluntary. Public health recommends that you contact a healthcare provider if you have questions about your childs health. Do not forget to use this Screening Tool each morning prior to sending your child(ren) to school:
