On October 26, 2020, MCSD will launch the Daily Health Assessment symptoms tracking tool to help us continue efforts to prevent the spread of illness.

• This tool is optional for students, but we strongly encourage participation to help us mitigate exposure and risks.
• Each student/parent will receive a daily email notification, starting at 5:00 a.m., to complete the assessment prior to arrival to his/her school site.
• The District will use the email address currently in Infinite Campus with your student’s assigned school. Please check/update your email address to ensure you receive the Daily Health Assessment email notifications.
• If a student/parent does not receive the email notifications, he/she can use the QR code that will be provided below.
  • View QR code instructions.
  • Note: Some phones may require you to download a QR Code Scanner from your phone an app store.
• Parents with a student/students who may have tested positive or been exposed to someone who tested positive must report this to their principal and Tracy Fox, Director of Risk Management, or Jeannie Polhamus, Lead School Nurse via exposuretracking@muscogee.k12.ga.us.
