We are pleased to offer a COVID vaccine clinic in collaboration with the local health department for students and families the week of Sept. 13. In order to plan accordingly, we need to know how many students will attend the vaccine clinic. Please distribute the attached screening, permission, and information form to your students who are 12 and older. We need permission forms back to the school as soon as possible. Once we see the responses, we will set up the clinics and notify parents when the clinic will occur. Parents do not need to be present when the vaccine is given. We need to really get the word out!!!

Student Daily Health Screening Has the student had a temperature greater than 100.4 in the last 24 hours? Does the student have a new cough, shortness of breath, changes in taste or smell, chills, sore throat, diarrhea, and/or nausea, fatigue (more tired than usual), headache, muscle aches, nasal congestion that is different than usual in the last 24 hours? Has the student taken medication to lower his/her temperature in the past 24 hours? Has the student been in close contact (less than 6 feet for more than 15 minutes with or without a face covering) with someone diagnosed with COVID-19 and still completing the full 14 days of quarantining? Has the student been in close contact (less than 6 feet for more than 15 minutes with or without a face covering) with anyone who is currently awaiting COVID-19 test results? Has the student tested positive for COVID-19 and still completing the full 10 days of isolation? If the answer is YES to any of these questions, the student should stay home, parents should contact their health care provider or the health department immediately, and contact the school as quickly as possible. Local public health authorities determine and establish the quarantine options for their jurisdictions. CDC currently recommends a quarantine period of 14 days. Options to shorten quarantine with acceptable alternatives were provided by the CDC on December 2, 2020. Augusta County Public Schools will follow the alternative quarantine period of 10 full days after symptoms have started or after a PCR test has been administered.
