PCR

We just did this. They need a doctor note with an alternative diagnosis to return.

What alternative diagnosis did you get? I don’t see pediatricians starting to run rhinovirus tests of every kid with the sniffles.

I think it just said symptoms consistent with the common cold, but not covid, citing the negative PCR test.

What kind of supports does APS plan to provide for students who end up missing school under these policies? If kids are absent 3-4 days a month due to these policies, there’s no way they will keep up.

I think they're expected to ask their teacher for make up work. That's it.

I assume they’re also expecting SOL to tank further.

Two students in my class were sick this week. One was only out for one day and returned with a negative covid test, though he still had some sniffles.

People railed against concurrent, this is what you get.

They’re supposed to view the assignments/lesson on canvas.

Some school systems are heaving teachers do video check ins with students for extended COVID absences to go over the work being sent home and answer questions. A kid with a mild case of COVID may be put two weeks or more, so they really need to do something or they’ll end up having to retract entire units to individual kids.

The teachers were the ones who railed against concurrent (for understandable reasons).

My kids got a cold/allergies the first week of school; we got them tested immediately (negative) but no one at school ever asked about it.

Sure, it's always the teachers' fault with you people. We all remember the APEs screaming about concurrent. The same people who are complaining that there's no good learning plan for quarantined kids.

You need to drop the APE obsession. I am not in APE and never have been. I understand why teachers were opposed to continuing concurrent learning, and don’t have a problem with the decision to do away with it. I am concerned about what will happen to children who have to miss significant amounts of educational time due to covid exclusion policies.

Same. Why would you ask/notify APS in this situation? My kid had a runny nose, no fever, felt fine, and had a negative Covid test. I didn’t tell APS but sent the kid to school in good conscience.

My kid stayed home Friday because he developed a cough. I called the school to say he was absent and told them why. Negative PCR test that day. School never called or emailed us on Friday to tell us we needed anything. I am sending him in today.
