Barrington220 COVID-19 Symptom Screening Web App
Student health reporting is required by our local health departments. Please use this web app each day before students leave home for 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.
The system will confirm each check-in and respond whether or not it is safe to come to school for the day.
When arriving at school, a school employee will scan each ID. Those who have reported that they are free of COVID-19 symptoms may enter the building that day.
To learn more ways to access this system, please view this PDF with visuals or watch this short instructional video.
Thank you for helping us all remain safe during this pandemic!
