Appendix C: Parent Self-Screening Tool
We appreciate your support and partnership as we make sure our students continue to have a safe and positive learning environment. Each day before you send your child to school, we are asking you to take part in a “screening” process for your child. This screening is for the protection of your child, their friends at school and our dedicated UCS team.
If the answer is yes to ANY of the following, do not send your child to school.
You should also promptly contact the Macomb County Health Department at 586-463-3750 or a family physician for further guidance.
1. In the past ten (10) days, my child has tested positive for COVID-10. Please contact the school attendance line to report absence due to COVID-19.
2. In the past fourteen (14) days, my child has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This includes being notified of close contact by a reliable source in which the positive carrier may not always be named but tracing information has been gathered. Please contact the school attendance line to report being in contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19.
3. My child is experiencing one or more of the following illness or illness symptoms that I consider different from any explainable circumstance or known existing baseline condition such as seasonal allergies, asthma, migraine headaches, etc.:
• Fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when taken by mouth
• Sore throat
• Uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing
• Diarrhea, Vomiting, or abdominal pain
• Severe headache, especially with fever
Please notify the school attendance line to report an absence due to illness. 586-797-2599
