Possible exposure to chicken pox at 15 weeks

Hi all ... just feeling anxious and hoping for reassurance from others.
I'm a secondary school teacher and a pupil in one of my classes today had an itchy rash on her arm. First aid sent her home as possible chicken pox. I was teaching in a large open classroom and was only near the girl for under one minute, but can't help but worry. I have asked school to call home tomorrow to confirm the diagnosis, and have also asked my midwife to check my bloods from booking appointment for immunity. Myself and my mum think we remember me having chicken pox as a young child but can't be sure. Any advice or experience to help alleviate worry? Thank you.

If you had it as a child you shouldn't have any issues as you should have immunity. Depends on the type of rash tbh. If they were spots with blisters then it could be chicken pox or it could be something completely different if they weren't blisters.

Thanks @dementedpixie I am hopeful it wasn't chicken pox, didn't look like blisters to me, but I'm no expert. I guess it's a waiting game now.
