Message from the Nurse

Due to a recent increase in Covid-19 exposures in the school, we have modified the health screening questions in PikMyKid. It is essential that we all act with extra caution in order to prevent having to quarantine individuals or entire classrooms. Below are the new questions in both English and Spanish. Take a moment to read and make sure you understand them before Monday.
