COVID-19 SYMPTOMS FOR SCREENING
Parents of students experiencing any of the following symptoms should log in to the Ascend App, and the app will give directions on your next steps. The Ascend App is for COVID-19 related symptoms. Even if you get a green screen indicating your child is clear to report onsite to school, there are other illnesses that warrant your child staying home. Please refer to the school handbook for these directives. As the science around COVID-19 changes, the Ascend App will continue to adapt to ensure the safety of our school community.
