Portland Public Schools' Health And Safety Reminder - Consent Form

Press release from Portland Public Schools:

March 30, 2021

Dear PPS Families,

"We are excited to see students at schools, starting this Thursday and Friday! We want to share some health and safety reminders with you. All staff and parents/guardians of students are required to:

• Self-screen daily for symptoms of illness before leaving their homes to enter a school or getting on a PPS bus. The Daily Illness Self-Screening Checklist describes exactly what to look for.
• If a staff/student presents symptoms or has been exposed to COVID-19 within the past 14 days, they should stay home and report their symptoms to the school or appropriate supervisor, and contact their healthcare provider.
• In the instance of a confirmed or presumptive COVID-19 case, PPS will follow our Case Protocol, which you can find by clicking here.

COVID-19 Testing Consent Form

As we return to in-person instruction with hybrid, PPS will request consent to test students for COVID-19 from student families prior to the first hybrid instructional day.
