1. COVID Testing Fatigue

   FixerofUhohs replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

   Wow, we are doing covid testing in our district, but only on staff/students who are symptomatic. We can only test the children in elementary whose parents are present and have signed all consents in person. The middle and high school student's parent...

2. If your school asked you, would you admin COVID vax on campus

   FixerofUhohs replied to jnemartin's topic in School

   I wouldn't do it. I worked mass Covid vaccine clinics before the kids came back to school, and Flare is correct on the "too many moving parts." We had a whole system set up to deal with observation of post vaccine and dealing with reactions, and it i...

   I got my first Moderna vaccine on 1/6/21. My arm was sore, like with the flu shot. No other side effects. OK, maybe I was a little more fatigued than usual, but I've also been super busy. I'm scheduled for my second on the 3rd; heard that that is wor...

6. contact tracing

   FixerofUhohs replied to ruralseok's topic in School

   We have not been back in school in our district (at least not the public schools) since March 13. We've had several "go" dates, and they've all been cancelled. Our latest one is in January, but who knows? Our area is red, red, red and our governor ju...

7. 2020 small achievements

   FixerofUhohs replied to guest464345's topic in School

   That is an awesome achievement. I don't even want to tell you how upset I would be if I had to deal with the clothes closet. Our Family Resource Center coordinator does that, and my hat is off to her!

8. Parents STILL Sending Sick Kids to School

   FixerofUhohs replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

   I still don't think parents (or anyone else for that matter) really get that the symptoms of covid are so broad. They're so much like the common cold, allergies, flu, etc, etc. It is an ongoing battle that requires constant reinforcement by us!
