KIPP SHARP Special Edition
Student wellness survey - October 15, 2020
Student wellness survey
Dear KIPP SHARP Families,
After welcoming some of our KIPPsters back last week, we are so excited to welcome ALL of our in-person KIPPsters back on Monday, October 19th. We have missed seeing KIPPsters in person and hearing their voices and laughter fill up our campuses with joy. As we return, the health and safety of our students and staff is our number one priority.
Before we fully launch in-person learning on October 19th, we wanted to share some important safety updates and reminders.
Symptom Screening: Please remember that every day, before coming to campus, you are required to see if your child(ren) has any of the symptoms listed in the Daily Health Self Assessment Checklist. If your child has any symptoms on the list or feels sick, please keep your child at home and seek medical attention as appropriate.
Health and Wellness Surveys: As an additional safety precaution, on Sunday and Wednesday evenings, you will also receive an email and text notification to complete a mandatory Health and Wellness survey online for each of your child(ren) that attend a KIPP Texas school. Completion of this survey is mandatory before your child comes to school on Mondays and Thursdays.
Here are a few important things to know:
● You will receive your first official health and wellness surveys on Sunday, October 18th and Wednesday, October 21st.
● You must complete the surveys before your student comes to school on Monday, October 19th, and Thursday, October 22nd, and then every Monday and Thursday after that.
● If for some reason you do not get the survey on Sunday October 18th, please contact saul.zarco@kipptexas.org, and symptom screen your child(ren) using the Daily Health Self Assessment Checklist before bringing them to school.
● If you complete the survey for your child/ren and you get a notification that your child “did not pass” the survey, please keep your child at home and wait to be contacted by somebody from your child’s school.
We understand you may have concerns around the spread of COVID-19 and want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to keep our BIG and Little KIPPsters safe, and transparency in this process is crucial. If we have any confirmed positive COVID-19 cases at KIPP SHARP, we will notify you immediately and inform you about the next steps we are taking, which may or may not include a school closure. If your student is identified as being a close contact of an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19, we will ask your student to quarantine for 14 days. Additionally, we will update our website weekly with the number of positive COVID-19 cases at our schools to ensure you can readily access this information.

Thank you for doing your part to help us keep all our KIPPsters healthy and safe this school year.
