Dear Cushing families,
I hope that everyone is well as we finish our seventh week of classes. I am writing to share some important information regarding the health of our campus. Recently, a remote member of Cushing's student body tested positive for COVID-19. This individual began the semester on campus but later switched to remote learning. The individual was last on campus in mid-September, prior to experiencing symptoms, and has not, to our knowledge, had in-person contact with any community members since.
Upon learning about this, we immediately discussed the matter with our medical team and notified the Board of Health. Based on those conversations, we have no concern that anyone on campus was exposed, but this is certainly a reminder to stay vigilant. Please remember to regularly review the Keeping Cushing Healthy webpage for the most updated information regarding how the Academy is working to maintain a safe community amidst this pandemic.
As you may know, the number of COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts is increasing, and this only reinforces our need to continue viral mitigation strategies as recommended by our task force and medical team. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Have a good weekend,
