Daily health check-in

If your school runs a daily health check-in, you'll answer a few short questions about how your child is feeling before drop-off. It only takes a moment, and it helps your child's classroom know everyone arriving is well.

What you'll see

Your school builds the check-in as a simple symptom checklist: for example, a list of symptoms to confirm yes or no, like fever, cough, or vomiting in the last 24 hours. The exact questions are set by your school, so what you see matches their current health policy.

Answer each item honestly, then submit the check-in for your child. There's nothing to save or update afterward: once you submit, the room has what it needs for the day.

When a check-in is blocked

Some symptoms are flagged by your school as ones that mean a child should stay home. If you answer yes to one of those symptoms, the check-in comes back as blocked: your child isn't cleared for the day, and you'll see your school's health policy text explaining what to do next (for example, how long your child should stay home or when to call the office).

A blocked check-in is the system doing its job: it's there to keep sick days out of the classroom. If your plans have changed and your child won't be in, you can also let the room know directly. See Report an absence or that you're running late.

How it connects to attendance

When you complete the check-in, it's attached to your child's attendance for that day so teachers can see it alongside the rest of the day's records. Your school decides whether to run a daily health check-in at all and what its questions and policy text say. Directors and admins can read about setting that up in Configure attendance settings.
