HCS COVID-19 PLAN

COVID-19 GUIDELINES

Please consult the HCS Instruction and Health Mitigation Plan for current guidelines regarding in-person learning.

Remember to do the Student Health checklist below with your student each morning before school.

Do not send them to school if they answer "yes" to any of the questions. Then contact your child's teacher or the school nurse to report the illness.

Student Health Questionnaire


During times of potential health risk or modified access, it is important students DO NOT enter into any HCS building if they are ill. Please review the following medical issues.


If the student has/answers YES to any questions, he/she may NOT come to school. We require the student to remain home and the parent/guardian contact the school nurse to get further advice. We recommend talking with your student’s medical provider for further guidance, especially if they have several symptoms or are getting worse.
