Dear St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School Families,
Today we were notified of a student who tested positive for Covid. They did not return to campus after Thanksgiving break so there is no risk of exposure to anyone on campus. We have already contacted the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) as required to report the case and we have updated the Diocesan COVID Dashboard.
We are following all actions recommended by OCHCA at this time. Keeping our SFA community safe is a responsibility we all share. We encourage you to speak with your child(ren) and remind them that, while rules such as social distancing during class, and while at lunch and recess may not be fun, they are designed to keep them safe and in school. We also continue to have students wash their hands frequently while on campus.
St. Francis is committed to providing accurate and transparent information regarding COVID-19 cases on our campus, while also maintaining our legal responsibility to ensure privacy and confidentiality for affected individuals. Let's all commit to maintaining privacy for those involved.
If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Nieto at covid@sfayl.org. As a reminder, if your child or anyone in your family exhibits symptoms of COVID-19, please keep your child(ren) home, report your child(ren) absent, and let us know that he or she is experiencing symptoms.
Sincerely,
Jeannette Lambert
Principal
