Will we document screenings?
No. Since staff and students are required to self-screen at home, sites do not have to document.

When and how will parents and staff be notified of a positive case?

If you have multiple students suspected of COVID-19, how will you safety isolate each student?
Each school site has an isolation room for one student. If there are multiple students, school site staff will determine which students may have COVID and which students may not based on their investigation. Students that may have COVID will be monitored outside until parent pickup.
