It is extremely important that if your student has been diagnosed with COVID-19, is presumed positive for COVID-19, has been exposed to COVID-19 or is generally not feeling well (displaying symptoms consistent with COVID-19) that you email Rebecca Shipman, district healthcare coordinator, immediately at rshipman@lncharter.org.

Ms. Shipman will work with you to quickly determine if any actions are needed. If a

positive case, an exposure or concerning symptoms are established, subsequent actions may include contact tracing; placing your student in temporary remote learning status or if they are ill, excusing the associated absences; and communicating the absence with your student’s building principal and teacher(s). Please note that temporary remote learning is not an option that a parent elects, but rather a health and safety decision necessitated by one of the above circumstances. Parents must work through Ms. Shipman.

As we see incidences of COVID-19 increasing in our communities, following these directions takes on an even more urgent need. It is of the greatest importance that we are quickly made aware of any COVID-19 affecting our students, especially if they have been on our campus. This is because we must initiate the contact tracing process immediately in order to prevent spread. We must all work together to keep our community safe.

Please reach out to Ms. Shipman with any questions at rshipman@lncharter.org or at 704/948-8600 x 1200.
