Parents/Guardians - Canby Public Schools will be complying with the requirements and guidance set forth by the Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Department of Education, the CDC, and Countryside Public Health. We are asking that parents screen their child using the attached "Daily Home Screening" tool (attached to this email). - By sending their child to school, parents/guardians are confirming that their child does not have any symptoms listed. - A visual inspection of students and staff will be done at the start of and throughout the school day. - Any student or staff member showing signs of illness will have their temperature taken and a full assessment done. - If a student or staff member has "one more common" or "two less common" symptoms listed on the guidance sheet, they will be relocated to a designated quarantine area until they can be picked up from school. Also attached to this email you will find: - Daily Home Screening Tool for Parents - Canby Public Schools COVID-19 Guidance (which mirrors the guidance set by MDH) - What To Do While You Wait For COVID-19 Test Results ** A hard copy of the COVID-19 Guidance and Daily Screening Tool will be sent home with the students as soon as they are printed and available ** If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your building principal or the school nurse.
