SOCIAL WORKER'S QUOTE OF THE WEEK
PICTURE DAY IS MONDAY!
HEALTH UPDATE
This year, we will be following the guidelines from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). They have created a decision tree that is required for schools to follow. Here is the link for it (or see below) https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/schools/exguide.pdf. Please note siblings and household members will be sent home too.
As in nursing, changes are ever-evolving! They have updated the decision tree. This will be used for students and staff. The bottom line - PLEASE keep your child home if ill, even if it's a slight cough or a few sneezes. It is better to err on the side of caution. Any questions, please reach out to me.
***PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS STAYING HOME IF SICK***
We are requesting parents to take their student's temperature every evening and morning. If your child has a fever, PLEASE keep them at home. We will not be doing mass temperature screenings at the school. We are also requesting parents to self-screen their child every day prior to leaving for school. If you are able to check any of the boxes, PLEASE keep them at home.
A provider's note will be required for medical exemptions for not wearing a mask at school OR the Family Flex plan is an option.
We will NOT be doing nebulizer treatments in the health office this year. Please reach out to the health office if you have any questions.
PLEASE report to me, Anne Grahn (district nurse and COVID-19 coordinator), if you and/or someone in your family tests positive. Please communicate with me without worry of blame or shame with having this virus. It is okay, we are in this together. We are in a pandemic, and we all need to do our part to stop the transmission. Doing contact tracing will help, however, we need your help to do so. Please either call and leave a message for me at 320-679-6232 or e-mail me at agrahn@moraschools.org. We are all in this together!
