Dear Parents/Guardians:
To keep our participants safe, please makes sure you submit this form and/or review 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.
