COVID-19 Symptom Screening App Now Available!
COVID-19 Symptom Screening Web App
In an effort to promote a safe and healthy environment for students and staff entering our buildings, Barrington 220 is implementing a web app to allow families and staff to quickly and easily report current COVID-19 symptoms. A web app is a website that functions like an app, but does not require a download from an App Store. This reporting is required by our local health departments. Please use this web app each day before arriving at school.
To access our COVID-19 Symptom Screening web app:
1. Visit health.barrington220.org on any device.
2. SIGN IN using your Infinite Campus username and password.
3. Respond to the survey for each child in your family, or for yourself if you are a staff member.
4. Tap CONFIRM for each survey to report the results.

What to Expect When Visiting the Buildings
Barrington 220 has enjoyed welcoming back small groups of students and parents to our school buildings and the district will continue to do so in September. In order to make sure everyone stays safe, the district has worked to put many protocols in place. Things look very different from previous years, so please take some time to review these protocols before visiting our schools.
