Chickenpox

I've had a message to say that a child in the school I work in has a confirmed case of chicken pox and to 'take medical action'.
Is this something I need to get in touch with my GP about?
I had chicken pox when I was 6 so hopefully immune.
I'm not super worried as I haven't spent any time with this child but I was in that part of the school last week and would have touched the same door handles etc she could have touched. I feel absolutely fine but not sure what the incubation period is.
I'm 10 weeks pregnant.
 
The incubation period is 7 to 21 days, if I remember correctly. I’d phone your midwife for reassurance and advice @Lauren You should be fine but it’s sensible to get her/his input.
