You will find details from the recent press release below.
ParentSquare Inc., provider of the premier unified school-to-home engagement platform for K-12, has launched a new health screening form feature, delivering schools an easy-to-use solution to enable student and staff daily health screenings.
With this new feature, parents, staff and high school students can electronically submit a health screening form indicating if they are exhibiting systems of COVID-19. They will immediately receive clearance to go to school or instructions to stay home, matching school or district policies. For school bus or on-campus health screening scenarios, teachers and staff can easily use ParentSquare to record results for students.
Because these health screening forms are managed through the ParentSquare platform, identifying information about the student or staff member is pre-populated from data the school already has, and the information remains secure and private.
Results from the health form are immediately available in ParentSquare’s dashboard for the student’s homeroom teacher, authorized staff or on-site health screeners — with clear indication of missing responses or if anyone is exhibiting symptoms.
The school or district can select a CDC-aligned health screening form in ParentSquare and then customize to meet any additional requirements they may have. The form is initially available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean.
The Health Screening form feature is available now, and included at no additional charge for all customers with ParentSquare’s existing Forms and Permission Slips component as part of their solution.
