Republic School District Families and Employees,
A short time ago we were notified of a new positive COVID19 case. The individual is a student at Republic High School and was last on campus (and considered contagious) on Monday, August 31. Please join us in sending wishes for a speedy recovery for this student.
At the direction of the Springfield-Greene County Health Department all students and employees who were exposed to the individual who tested positive for COVID-19 have been individually contacted by phone call. Those needing to self-isolate and quarantine to help stop the spread have been directed to do so. If you did not receive an individual phone call about this situation, no action is needed. District sanitation practices were immediately implemented as well.
As a reminder, exposure notifications will be distributed each evening that there is a positive case in our district. Also, we want to take this opportunity to remind our patrons about the rules we are required to follow per the CDC and Springfield-Greene County Health Department in regards to isolation and quarantine situations using the graphic below. In addition, details and example scenarios can be found on the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine.html.
