[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused about the process. If my child has symptoms and I give her an at home test and she tests positive, what is my next step? Of course, I keep her home. But what else?

Do I tell FX Health? I tell the school but then what do I need to get back to school and how long do I have to stay out. I am so confused and cannot find the rules anywhere??[/quote]

The HD doesn’t care about your at home test. Fill out the online attendance form for your school. They will call you if they want more info. Type in something like “Jane tested positive for Covid and will be out of school on …. This will be ten days from when her symptoms began (or the positive test). I will contact yi if there are any changes.”

That’s almost exactly what I sent to the school for my child and they followed up with a phone call, mostly just asking if he was okay and how he was feeling. We weren’t interested in streaming and he contacted his teachers directly since he’s older. [/quote]

Thanks! I just want to understand. If the at home test comes up positive, we keep her out 10 days? And then she just goes back at day 10 no questions asked?

What do we do if she is sick with no positive test? We just keep her out until she is better - 3, 5, whatever days and send her back, no questions asked?[/quote]

Really, it’s okay. Tell the school by email or by a phone call that you are keeping them home ten days. Send your kid back after that. There isn’t a form.

The only form I ever had to fill out was when one kid was sent home with symptoms. They gave me a form and I had options and a paper to fill out before returning. When my kids actually had Covid, there was no form and they just needed to stay home the ten days. Someone from the school will contact you for sure if they want more info. [/quote]
