| Updated COVID-19 Screening Tool | http://oss.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/607 | Updated COVID-19 Screening Tool |
<p class="MsoNormal">On October 1<sup>st</sup>, 2020 the Ontario Ministry of Health
updated the COVID-19 screening tool for children in school. These are
important changes for you to be aware of if your child becomes ill.
</p><p class="MsoNormal">This updated COVID-19 screening tool provides basic
information only and contains recommendations for children, to support decision
making by parents about whether their child should attend school and/or needs
to be tested for COVID-19. Please be aware that screening
must continue to occur daily and at home before a child enters school. </p><p class="MsoNormal">A copy of the complete and updated COVID-19 Screening Tool
for Children in School can be found here: <a href="/Documents/covid-19-student-screening-tool%20Oct.%207,%202020.pdf"><img class="ms-asset-icon ms-rtePosition-4" src="/_layouts/15/images/icpdf.png" alt="" />covid-19-student-screening-tool Oct. 7, 2020.pdf</a></p><p class="MsoNormal">A copy of the document to be reviewed if your child did not pass the daily screening test can be found here:<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="/Documents/my-child-did-not-pass-the-covid-19-daily-screening---now-what.pdf"><img class="ms-asset-icon ms-rtePosition-4" src="/_layouts/15/images/icpdf.png" alt="" />my-child-did-not-pass-the-covid-19-daily-screening---now-what.pdf</a><br> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p> | | | |

information will be shared directly with our elementary partners. The link to
