The CDC no longer recommends temperature screenings. We will no longer require temperature screenings for staff, students, or visitors at any ECSD school building or on any school bus.
The ECSD will continue to utilize the “Stay Well Questionnaire” at home on-line screening tool. Parents or students will complete and submit the questions daily, monitoring key indicators of illness or risk and ECSD staff will complete and submit the questions daily, monitoring key indicators of illness or risk and ECSD staff will follow-up on “YES” responses to the questions. A screening questionnaire will be provided to parents/guardians by the school. Please make sure you are completing and submitting this questionnaire to the school as instructed.
A screening questionnaire determines whether the individual has:
• Knowingly been in close or proximate contact in the past 7 days with anyone who has tested positive through a diagnostic test for COVID-19 or who has or had symptoms of COVID-19.
• Tested positive through a diagnostic test for COVID-19 in the past 10 days.
• Has experienced any symptoms of COVIDD-19 including a temperature of greater than 100.0°F in the past 7 days: and/or cough or loss of taste and smell.
• Traveled internationally or from a state with widespread community transmission of COVID-19 per the New Travel Advisory in the past 14 days.
The ECSD will ensure that parents/guardians will be provided materials to assist in observing for signs of illness in their child that require staying home from school.
We are asking parents to please monitor their child’s temperature daily before school. Temperature check is only accurate when there has been no use of fever-reducing medications ie: Tylenol (Acetaminophen), Motrin, Advil (Ibuprofen).
