PHILADELPHIA â Before the school day begins, nurse Kathy McCutcheon makes a list of which students have completed their online COVID-19 health screening.
Most students have fallen into the routine since the school year began and complete the checklist. But those who haven t submitted a form indicating possible symptoms or exposure to the virus must be checked upon arrival at Haddon Township High School in Westmont before they can enter the building.
It has become a part of the school day for students and staff across the region, with nurses playing a key role during the pandemic, whether schools are open for in-person or hybrid instruction or fully remote. They do the job knowing the possible risk to them and their families.
