TCTC is asking staff families to conduct daily wellness checks of students before sending to school. Caregivers are asked to pay close attention and err on the side of caution if their student exhibits any of the following symptoms:
-Fever or chills
-Cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
-Fatigue
-Muscle or body aches
-Headache
-New loss of taste or smell
-Sore throat
-Congestion or runny nose
-Nausea or vomiting
-Diarrhea
Students will pass through temperature scanners upon entering TCTC and those who register an elevated temp (100 *F) will be asked to submit to individual “temperature checks” upon entering school.
-They are fever free without the use of medicine for at least 72 hours
-Symptoms have improved
-At least 7 days have passed since symptoms first appeared OR
-An individual with a positive test but no symptoms may return to school if all of the following have occurred:
-They have no symptoms
-10 days have passed since the positive test
-They have 2 negative tests, at least 24 hours apart
Expectations of healthy students and staff:
• Daily washing of hands, or use of hand sanitizer, upon entering the building, before and after lunch, at the end of the school day and any time the student uses the restroom, coughs/sneezes into hands, or blows his/her nose
• Covering all coughs/sneezes with a tissue or inside of elbow
• Ensuring 6 ft. physical distance from others whenever possible
• Students may assist in daily wiping or spraying/cleaning of desks and chairs at end of school day, or as requested
• Ensure contact information for all caregivers is up to date
• Ensure there are multiple, pre-arranged methods of getting a student home from school should they become ill or exhibit symptoms.
