Covid-19 Screening

Dear Parents, Guardians and Students:

Welcome back. Please screen for COVID-19 symptoms every morning.  Check every morning to see if your child has any of these symptoms. If yes, they must stay home:

  • Fever, cough, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, sore throat, chills, painful swallowing

  • Runny nose/nasal congestion, feeling unwell/fatigued, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, unexplained loss of appetite 

  • Loss of sense of taste or smell, muscle/joint aches, headache, Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)

Students, parents or visitors must not enter school if they:

  • Feel sick or have symptoms of COVID-19

  • Had close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days

  • Had close contact with a symptomatic close contact of a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days

  • Have traveled outside of Canada in the last 14 days

A student showing COVID-19 symptoms whose symptoms may resemble a minor cold, allergies, or other pre-existing medical conditions that cause similar symptoms should get at least one negative COVID-19 test result before returning to school.

For more information, please see the Alberta COVID-19 Parent’s Guide 2020-21 School Year.  (available in 9 languages).
