The Durham District School Board (DDSB) has posted an updae on requirements that students must complete before returning to In-Person learning.
“All students and parents/guardians MUST perform a self-screening before leaving home for school. The self-screening questions have changed, and the screening can be accessed at Ontario.ca/SchoolScreening. You are required to complete the screening and answer the questions every morning,” the DDSB said.
As an added measure, schools will be undertaking daily on-site confirmation that the screening has been done with all students. Anyone who has Covid-19 symptoms or has tested positive must self-isolate, regardless of vaccination status and follow the instructions of the self-screener.
The Chief Medical Officer of Health is also requiring that household members, including siblings, stay home until the household member experiencing symptom(s) is cleared from their isolation. If a student attending school is exhibiting any symptoms, they will be sent home along with the student’s siblings and you will be required to pick them up.
