Upon school entry, ECDOH requires all students, staff, and faculty to participate in daily health screenings.

The health screening can be a daily in-person temperature and COVID-19 symptom check or a home health screening questionnaire (Appendix A) which can then be forwarded to the school by hand, electronically, or phone. All other school visitors, will be required to have an in-person temperature and symptom check before entering the school. School must confirm that a health screening is completed daily.

If an individual presents with a temperature greater than 100.0°F, or reports one or more COVID-19 symptom, regardless of vaccination status, the individual must be denied entry into the facility or sent directly to a dedicated isolation area prior to being picked up or otherwise sent home.

COVID-19 symptoms include the following: fever, chills, rigors, muscle aches, headache, back pain, fatigue, runny nose, congestion, sore throat, loss of smell, loss of taste, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest pain, cough, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, altered mental status/confusion, and seizures.

Additional Notes for Iroquois’s Implementation

Households are required to perform at home screening for the signs and symptoms of COVID.  A second check will be performed when the students arrive at school.  At primary schools, temperatures will either be taken on the bus or as students enter the building if they are driven by parents.  At the secondary level, temperature checks will be completed in the student’s homeroom/first class.  An individual having signs or symptoms may choose to either isolate for ten days or present a negative COVID test to the school.

ECDOH requires the use of a daily screening questionnaire for students, teachers, staff, and visitors reporting to school. (Iroquois Questionnaire Below). The questionnaire for students, particularly younger students, who may require assistance, may be answered before that student reports to school by their parent/legal guardian (e.g., by electronic survey, digital application, or telephone).

Additional Notes for Iroquois’s Implementation

Staff shall complete the questionnaire electronically daily.  Students shall be administered the questionnaire verbally by district personnel.

ECDOH requires that if a student or staff member develops COVID-19 symptoms while at school, regardless of vaccination status, the ill person must immediately be placed in an isolation area/room at school and picked up by a parent/guardian if a student or sent home if a staff member.

ECDOH requires schools to maintain isolation areas/rooms separated from others for students or staff who are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. These designated rooms should be monitored, overseen, and logged.
