Date of Exclusion*

My child failed the Ontario COVID-19 school screening tool, WDCC's active screening or was sent home from child care / school on this date.

Date of Return*

My child has met the criteria selected below and would like to return to child care or before / after school program on this date.

It has been a minimum of 24 hours since my child was first excluded and they (or the affected household member) have a) had a negative COVID-19 test result, or b) been cleared by public health directly to return, or c) have been diagnosed with another condition by a medical professional.*

Yes
No

Please note that there are different exclusion periods and criteria for a diagnosed contagious condition other than COVID-19. Please contact us directly at info@campwaterdown.com to receive further instructions should your child have strep throat, pink eye, influenza, etc. More information can be found here: Infection Control Guidelines for Child Care

Please keep your child at home until 24 hours have passed and the child (and/or affected household member) has a) had a negative COVID-19 test result, or b) been cleared by public health to return, or c) is diagnosed with another illness by a medical professional. Symptoms must be improving and the child otherwise ready to return to school.

Choose Return Criteria*

Please select the box that applies best. You may add notes at the end. This form is reviewed by our administration and shared with your program screening staff to facilitate re-entry.

If your child was not ill, but was excluded because a sibling or household member had symptoms, then we have added a new option for that circumstance.

*Please add a note indicating if your child still has symptoms, or if suppressed by medications (i.e. Tylenol, antihistamines, etc.).

If the exclusion is due to another household member's symptoms and that household member does not receive a medical assessment or negative COVID-19 test, then the child must remain at home for a period of 14 days (and subsequently meet screening criteria).
