To reduce the likelihood of coming to a school or school district site when ill, students, staff and other adults (e.g. visitors) are required to complete a daily health check prior to entering the building.
-
Families and students can use the
K-12 Health Check app (is being updated by the Ministry to align with recent changes to public health guidance).
- PDF:
Daily Health Check from the B.C. Ministry of Education (version: September 22, 2021, no new version published).
- Staff, students and families can also use the BCCDC online Self-Assessment Tool, call 8-1-1 or their health care provider.
- Please refer to the BCCDC’s
When to get a COVID-19 test website (Updated January 18, 2022).
- As a reminder, students, staff or other adults should follow BCCDC guidance when ill and/or symptomatic.
It is the responsibility of parents/guardians to assess their child for symptoms of COVID-19, and they must confirm they understand how to complete the Daily Health Check by signing the
Daily Health Check - Acknowledgement Form.
