Dear Parents/Guardians:
To keep our participants safe, please makes sure you submit this form each day your child attends our program. Note that the temperature should be taken at home prior to arrival, and that Kala will do another temperature check and a visual check once the student arrives. We require parents to inform Kala with about any COVID-19 cases in your child's school/classroom that may impact their participation in our after school program.
If you're unsure whether to answer "yes" to Symptom questions, please focus on whether the symptom is NEW and/or DIFFERENT from the child’s usual illness, or if the symptoms are UNEXPLAINED. We encourage the parent to trust their intuition.
Please contact Gisela Insuaste, Education & Public Programs Manager with any specific questions or concerns at
gisela@kala.org.
The health screening has three parts:
Exposure Check
Symptom Check & Visual Check
Temperature Check
*You have been in close contact if you have: (a) been within 6 feet of someone who has COVID-19 for a combined total of 15 minutes or more over a 24 hour period or (b) provided care at home to someone who is sick with COVID-19 or (c) had direct physical contact (hugged or kissed) with someone who has COVID-19 or (d) shared eating or drinking utensils with someone who has COVID-19 or (e) been sneezed on or coughed on by someone who has COVID-19.
