3/15/2021 Dear Parents/Guardians: This letter is to inform you that there are people at our school who are quarantining due to a close contact of a laboratory­ confirmed case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). A close contact is someone who was within 6 feet of a confirmed case of COVID-19 for at least 10 minutes. You are not required to do anything at this point. We ask that you be on the lookout for the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in your child through that date. Symptoms can include but are not limited to fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Not everyone will get all these symptoms. If you believe your child may have COVID-19, contact his or her primary care doctor for directions. Most people who are mildly or moderately ill with COVID-19 will be able to safely recover at home. Cleaning and disinfecting of all exposed areas has been completed. The school is also taking precautions to prevent the introduction and spread of viruses and other germs and is cleaning frequently touched surfaces daily. The status of this situation is fluid, and we are monitoring it closely. As always, we appreciate our community's support and cooperation.
