Good Afternoon,
Student bussing information is now posted on PowerSchool for those students who signed up for bussing as part of the hybrid model.
Log onto PowerSchool (parent login)
Go to the button on the left hand side labeled “Transportation Info”
The button looks like this
If there are any questions, please contact the Transportation Department (ext. 2230).
As a reminder, students are gradually returning to school with only 25 % attending for the next two weeks on any given day. Students should only attend when their designated cohort is scheduled to be in school. Please refer to the following schedule:
Cohort A September 28 and 29
Cohort C October 1 and 2
Cohort B October 5 and 6
Cohort D October 8 and 9
When students attend in person, there will be a health screen done using an app. Please see the directions below for how to use this app on a smartphone or the school issued chromebook.
Daily Screening Process: As we prepare for the gradual, physical return of students to the school beginning September 28, it will be important that they are ready to complete the daily health screening process and temperature check. Any student who is not feeling well or has a fever should not attend school in person. Parents should report the absence by calling the attendance line: 609.298.3900 ext.4060.
Any time students physically attend school, they will need to complete the health questionnaire as part of the screening process to enter the building. The screening is done using an online application and directions are listed below. Having this done in advance will greatly speed the process of bringing students into the building. Students may practice completing the form this next week, even though they will not be coming into the building.
Here is a short video to illustrate the process and more detailed directions are below.
For Students with a Smartphone:
Download the DOCS HealthWorks App from either the Google App Store or the Apple App Store (the app icon should appear orange & Android OS must be v.8 or newer)
On the DOCS HealthWorks App - Create an account: fill in your name, contact information, student ID number (NOT your ss#. Student ID #s are listed in PowerSchool and begin with the graduating year 2026 or 2025) and the location code for the Middle School 5NOU (the letter O)
Each day you visit the district the COVID-19 health assessment will need to be completed prior to entrance, if everything is within normal parameters you will receive a QR code for identification (this QR code is good for 1 day).
For Students using their Chromebook:
On the DOCS HealthWorks website fill in your name, contact information, student (7 digit) ID number (NOT your ss#. Student ID#s are listed in PowerSchool and begin with the graduating year 2026 or 2025) and location code for the Middle School 5NOU (the letter O).
Each day you visit the district the COVID-19 health assessment will need to be completed prior to entrance, if everything is within normal parameters you will receive a QR code for identification (this QR code is good for 1 day) The QR code can also be printed from home and brought to school.
If your phone doesn’t support the app or the website didn’t work from home – we will have a Chromebook available at the screening stations
When You Arrive at School:
Follow the directions of the adults at the entrance who will direct you to present the QR code to the CapScann device for identification.
The CapScann device will then instruct you to place your wrist in the device opening aligning it with infrared light crosshairs for a precise temperature reading (look for the label on the kiosk).
Once the CapScann device reads the QR code, CapScann will provide 3 acknowledgements that include a green light indicating a normal temperature reading and authorization to enter the building.
The screeners will provide assistance throughout the entry process.
* Any individual presenting with a potential concern will be escorted to a rescreening area and further evaluated by medical staff.
