FCPS students being paused, quarantined, or isolated due to COVID-19 will soon have a way to stay connected with their classes until they return to in-person learning.
StreamIN/CheckIN provides meaningful instructional support for students who are paused, quarantined, or isolated due to COVID-19. Participating in StreamIN/CheckIN offers these students the opportunity to stay engaged with their classes so when they return, they haven’t missed a beat.
Learn more about StreamIN/CheckIN on our website.
Daily Health Screening Questionnaire
It is important that you screen your children each morning for any COVID-like symptoms and keep them home if they have any symptoms. This is the most important way you can help as a parent.
Parents, caregivers, or guardians are strongly encouraged to monitor their children for symptoms of infectious illness every day through a home-based symptom screening, and students who are sick should not come to school. Please consider the questions in the Health Screening Questionnaire each morning before sending your child to school. If you answer “YES” to any of the questions, please keep your child home.
Keep your child home if you suspect your child may have come in contact with someone who has COVID.
If you keep your child home and he or she feels better the next day, then no documentation from a medical provider is needed to return.
If your child comes to school and presents with COVID-like symptoms, he or she will be placed in the Care Room and will be sent home. Your child must then be seen by a medical provider in order to return to school.
Please be overly cautious and keep your child home if you are awaiting COVID test results.
You can find more information about COVID prevention strategies as well as the process for handling cases or suspected cases at the following links:
