Parental Acknowledgement:
By signing this form, I, the undersigned parent or guardian of the named child, acknowledge and agree to the following:
- Awareness of COVID-19 Risks
I understand that COVID-19 is a contagious virus that can spread through person-to-person contact. I acknowledge that while the school is implementing health and safety measures to reduce the risk of transmission, it is not possible to completely eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19 within the school environment.
- Health Screening Responsibilities
I agree to monitor my child for symptoms of COVID-19 daily, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, or any other symptoms outlined by public health guidelines. I will keep my child at home if they display any symptoms of illness or if they have been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19.
- Compliance with School Policies
I agree to follow the school’s COVID-19 policies and procedures, including any requirements for masks, physical distancing, hand hygiene, and any other measures implemented by the school to ensure a safe environment. I will ensure that my child understands and follows these protocols.
- Notification of Exposure
I agree to notify the school immediately if my child tests positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with a person who has tested positive. I understand that this is necessary to protect the health and safety of other students, staff, and families.
- Remote Learning and School Closure
I understand that in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak or public health directive, the school may transition to remote learning, and my child may need to participate in online instruction as required.
- Release of Liability
I release the school, its employees, and representatives from any liability or claims related to my child’s potential exposure to COVID-19, recognizing that the school is taking reasonable steps to mitigate the risks.
- Automatic Assumption in Absence of Form
I understand that if this form is not completed and signed, the school will assume that I do not agree to the terms outlined, and this may impact my child’s participation in on-campus activities.
