Mrs. Deborah Judy

Dear Parent/Guardian,
The Delaware Department of Education and Delaware Department of Health and Social Services’ Division of
Public Health have requested that we provide you information regarding practices related to COVID-19.
We request that students and/or their families complete a health assessment consisting of a self-screening every
morning before leaving for school.
Please answer the following questions:

 In the past 14 days, have you been near (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more) a person who has
a lab-confirmed case of COVID-19, or have you had direct contact with their mucus or saliva?
 In the last 48 hours, have you had any of the following symptoms?
o Fever of 100.4 F or above (or symptoms like alternating shivering and sweating)
o New cough
o New trouble breathing, shortness of breath or severe wheezing
o New chills or shaking with chills
o New muscle aches
o Sore throat
o Vomiting or diarrhea
o New loss of smell or taste, or a change in taste
o Nausea
o Fatigue
o Headache, congestion or runny nose (with no known other cause such as allergies)
If you answered YES to any of the questions above, do NOT send your child to school today. Instead, contact
your child’s primary healthcare provider and school nurse.
(This screening tool was adapted from the Mayo Clinic’s online COVID-19 Self-Assessment. To use the Mayo Clinic’s tool
online, visit https://mayoclinic.org/covid-19-self-assessment-tool )
Additional considerations:
 Students must stay home if they are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been confirmed to
have COVID-19 or if required by DPH to isolate or quarantine.
 Keep children who are sick at home; do not send them to school. Do not send children to school with a
fever of 100.4º or greater.
 Teach your children to wash their hands frequently with soap and running water for 20 seconds.
 Students in Pre-K through grade 12 must wear face coverings in the school building, except when doing so
would inhibit the individual’s health.
 Teach your children to cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing into the inside of the elbow.
