Immunizations and Covid 19 News
Immunization and Covid 19 News
Dear GPISD Families,
As we approach the return to school, Health Services would like to share some very important information regarding state required immunizations and COVID-19 symptoms. The requirements for immunizations have NOT been waived, nor have they changed over the past few months. Students are still required to be up to date on their immunizations in order to attend school. If you are unsure of the immunizations your child may need, please contact your campus nurse or doctor’s office. An updated copy of the immunization record must be submitted prior to the start of school.
Students with asthma (needing medication while at school) will need a medication permit with an inhaler and aero-chamber. Due to COVID-19, nebulizer treatments should be avoided in the school setting.
Due to the pandemic, we want to make sure that parents are aware of the signs and symptoms of COVID-19. Parents should screen their children for these each morning PRIOR to coming to school. These include, but are not limited to:
-
Cough/Fever/Chills
-
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
-
Fatigue
-
Muscle or body aches
-
Headache
-
New loss of taste or smell
-
Sore throat
-
Congestion or runny nose
-
Nausea/Vomiting/Diarrhea
Any student noted to have COVID symptoms while at school will be sent home immediately. According to the CDC, the students may return when the student has:
-
24 hours with no fever (without Tylenol or Motrin) AND
-
Respiratory/other symptoms have improved (e.g. cough, shortness of breath) AND
-
It has been 10 days since symptoms first appeared
-
Other return options include a medical release from the doctor with an alternate diagnosis OR
a lab confirmed PCR negative test result from an approve COVID-19 testing location:
https://tdem.texas.gov/covid-19/
Please begin to practice mask wearing, hand washing, and social distancing with your children. These will be the expectations upon the student’s return.
Thank you for your attention to these matters and please check Health Services Webpage for updates for immunization and COVID-19
Sincerely,
Mary L. Linicomn, BSN RN
Director of Health Services for Grand Prairie ISD
Estimadas familias de GPISD,
A mediada que nos acercamos al regreso a la escuela, El Departamento de Servicios de Saluddesea compartir información muy importante sobre las vacunas requeridas por el estado y los síntomas de COVI-19. Padres, los requisitos para las vacunas NO han sido eliminadas, ni han cambiado en los últimos meses. Los estudiantes todavía deben estar al día con sus vacunas para asistir a la escuela. Si no está segura de las vacunas que necesita su hijo/a, comuníquese con su médico. Se requiere presentar una copia actualizada del registro de vacunas antes del inicio de clases.
Los estudiantes con asma (que necesitan medicamentos mientras están en la escuela) necesitaran un permiso de medicamentos con un inhalador y un AeroChamber (cámara antiestática de retención con válvula). Debido a COVID-19 tratamientos de nebulizadores deben evitarse en el entorno escolar.
Debido a la pandemia, queremos asegurarnos de que los padres conozcan de los signos y síntomas de COVID-19. Padres deben evaluar a sus hijos para los síntomas cada mañana ANTES de ir a la escuela.Estos incluyen, pero no se limitan a:
-
Tos/Fiebre/Escalofríos
-
Dificultad para respirar o falta de aire
-
Fatiga
-
Dolores musculares y corporales
-
Dolor de cabeza
-
Nuevas perdidas reciente de olfato o el gusto
-
Dolor de garganta
-
Congestión o resfriado
-
Nauseas/Vómitos/Diarrea
Cualquier estudiante que tenga cualquiera de estos síntomas mientras este en la escuela será enviado a cas inmediatamente. Un estudiante puede regresar a la escuela cuando el estudiante tenga:
-
24 horas sin fiebre (sin el uso de medicamentos para reducir la fiebre) Y
-
Los síntomas respiratorios/de otro tipo han mejorado (por ejemplo, tos, dificultad para respirar) Y
-
Han pasado 10 días desde que aparecieron los primeros síntomas.
-
Otras opciones incluyen una autorización medica del medico con un diagnostico alternativa o un
resultado de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR por sus siglas en ingles) negativo confirmado por laboratorio de un lugar de prueba COVID-19 aprobado: https://tdem.texas.gov/covid-19/
Practique el uso de máscaras, el lavado de manos y el distanciamiento social con sus hijos. Estas sean las expectativas al regreso a la escuela.
Gracias por su atención a estos asuntos. Consulte la pagina web de Servicios de Salud pata actualizaciones para las vacunas y COVID-19.Sinceramente,
Mary L. Linicomn, BSN RN
