Fulton County Schools/Fulton County Board of Health Parent (Student) COVID-19 Reporting Portal
Many of the students in Fulton County Schools (FCS) will begin the return to full face-to-face instruction on October 14, 2020. For this cautious return to face-to-face instruction, a number of changes were implemented to ensure the health and safety of students, staff, and visitors. Among the most vital of these changes is the development and introduction of a new electronic FCS COVID-19 Reporting portal for parents. This electronic reporting process will allow for a more direct reaction from primarily the Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH) with support from FCS to promptly respond and address student/family cases of COVID-19.
Working in collaboration with FCBOH officials, this secure system allows parents/guardians to notify the district and FCBOH of a COVID-19 risk involving their student(s). The system takes the reporting parent/guardian through a series of questions that they must answer, and that information submits directly to Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH) personnel who will initiate the COVID-19 case investigation. Once received, the FCBOH public health team will:
- contact, case investigate, and follow-up directly with parents and students
- work in collaboration with Fulton County Schools’ Health Services team and share essential information so the district can take the appropriate action to respond and contain any COVID-19 risks to the school staff and other students
- provide the parent/guardian (student) direction regarding testing, self-isolation, quarantine, or the need for additional medical care
The following are the categories that we are asking parents/guardians of FCS students to submit a COVID-19 report – if the student:
- has tested positive for COVID-19
- is waiting for the results of a test for COVID-19
- has been in direct contact (within 6 ft for 15 minutes or more) with someone diagnosed with COVID-19
If any of the above categories apply to the student, the reporting parent/guardian will be prompted to fully complete the report to FCBOH. If the student does not meet the above criteria for submitting a FCBOH report, but is not feeling well or is ill, parents/guardians will be directed to notify their personal healthcare provider. The reporting portal should not be used to garner a medical diagnose of symptoms or illness.
The following are guidelines to access the new portal and additional information about expectations:
- The portal can be accessed by using a communicated link and/or a QR code via a mobile device.
- Once accessed, the parent will be asked to complete questions about the report (i.e. – student’s name, school, grade, testing information, etc.).
- The information will be sent to and received by public health officials who will contact the parent submitting the report directly to follow-up, investigate, and provide guidance.
- The public health team will communicate pertinent recommendations, guidance, and follow-up with the FCS Student Health Services Team.
- The Student Health Services Team will share information with district leaders/principals as deemed appropriate to ensure the appropriate district response
- Depending on the severity of the reported case after the investigation, the district will respond as noted in FCS COVID-19 Response Plan/Closure Matrix.
