Itinerant Services & Care and Treatment Programs: Students who receive Itinerant services through 287 will follow the learning model of their home school district, and students who receive educational services through 287 Care & Treatment programs will follow a learning model decided on collaboratively by partners and 287.
How to screen my student before coming to school each day
- Do a daily student health screening each day before your student comes to school or rides school transportation. While we won’t collect this information, we ask families to perform this simple screening each day.
- Our school nurses will be the point of contact for families and caregivers for all things related to COVID-19, including reporting symptoms and positive cases of COVID-19 in the home.
Symptoms
If your child has any of the following symptoms, your student may be sick, which affects their ability to learn and the potential of spreading illness.
Check that your child does not have these symptoms:
- Temperature 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when taken by mouth
- Sore throat
- New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing (for students with chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline)
- Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
- New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever
What's next?
If your student was positive for COVID-19:
- Stay home
- Isolate themselves from others
- Monitor their health
- Follow directions from their state or local health department
- If your student tests positive for COVID, stay home for at least 5 days and/or symptoms improve, with no fever, and isolate from others in your home.
When can my student come back to school?
Parents, caregivers, the school nurse, and the student’s healthcare provider should jointly decide when it is safe for your student to return to school. District 287 is following current CDC Guidance.
We do not require a doctor’s note to return to school. As soon as your student is well, we will all work together to make sure your student has opportunities to participate in classwork and to make up any missed classwork without penalty. This will help reduce anxiety about missed school opportunities.
As always, please monitor your student’s health, consult with your healthcare provider as needed.
The District has moved to a layered safety approach that recommends many different safety layers and options based on individual and family needs for safety based on their situation. (i.e. masking, hand-washing/sanitizing, distancing, etc.)
This District will continue to provide masks and sanitizer to staff and students.
