[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]

You hid this from the school and have a clean conscience?

This is what the screener is for people!

If you don't want to fill it out when your kid is fine, that's one thing.

But you need to fill it out when your kid has symptoms!!!![/quote]

The problem is that with all of the conflicting information from APS and varying interpretations by individual schools, reporting a runny nose in the scenario above could result in your child being excluded from school for an unknown number of days for no reason.  Under at least some of the APS guidance, a kid with a mild cold would it be allowed to return to school until 24 hours after the runny nose ended, which could easily be a week or more.[/quote]

I'm cautious of covid--I believe in vaccines and masks. I just don't think it's impossible to zero out runny noses without causing numerous absences. [/quote]
