Daily COVID Self-Screening

As a part of our Fall 2021 Return to School Plan, the division recommends that schools encourage parents to screen their children daily for COVID symptoms.

The link to the SHA self-screening template is found here: https://public.ehealthsask.ca/sites/COVID-19 and a PDF is also available here. All parents are asked to screen their child (and themselves if they are coming to the school property) daily.  A copy of the screening questions may also be found below.

Thanks for ensuring that your children and you are healthy prior to coming to school each day!
