The district had 1 staff member and 2 students to test positive this week. In order to ensure the safety of the staff and student body, 0 staff members and 17 students were quarantined.
This is the first week masks have been made optional. We will monitor COVID-19 cases within the school district to ensure the following positivity rates are not exceeded.
Student positivity: 1%
Staff positivity: 10%
District positivity: 1.5%
Quarantine rate: 7.5%
If any school exceeds the student and staff positivity or quarantine rates, the mask mandate will be reinstated at that school site.
This week all schools have remained below the designated positivity and quarantine rate.
The nursing staff at each school continues to work diligently to ensure all protocols and procedures are being followed.
We will continue to monitor and keep you updated on our progress.
Thank you,
Judith Jones, RN, BSN
Director of COVID-19 Health & Wellness
