COVID Update 11/8/2020

The intent of this communication is to notify our school community of two recent Covid-19 situations involving staff members.

This weekend, we were notified that a member of our business office had tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday November 6. The staff member’s last day in school was Wednesday November 4. Contact tracing has begun by the district and the Department of Health. Based on the timeline and the configuration of our business office, we do not feel that any students are impacted by this situation. Any staff impacted have entered quarantine.

That same evening, we were notified that an aide at J. Andrew Morrow Primary School had tested positive. This individual tested positive on Friday November 6, which was her last day in school. The district is working with the Department of Health on this situation as well. Any students and staff identified as potential close contacts have been notified and will begin quarantining.

Based on the nature of these two situations, there is no need to close any of our buildings at this time. We will continue to monitor things in all our buildings and adjust, as necessary.

As a community, the key to our success is to continue working together as we strive to keep our students, faculty, and staff safe and healthy. Thank you again for working collaboratively with the district as we navigate through this public health crisis together. Stay safe and stay healthy.
