Dear Mountain Rose Families,

We are writing to let you know that unfortunately, the Mountain Rose Kindergarten must close next week, March 22-March 26th. Both of the class teachers have had exposure to a faculty member who tested positive for Covid-19 on 3/19 and they are therefore considered a "close contact" and will need to quarantine for 10 days.

A person is considered a close contact if they have had contact with the covid positive individual during their infectious period (two days prior to symptom onset or two days prior to test date if asymptomatic), meaning persons that were within six feet for ten minutes or more cumulatively over a 24-hour period. It is still considered close contact if masks are worn.

With both the Lead and Assistant teachers needing to be out, we are unable to staff the class safely. To make up for the lost week we will be extending the school calendar for the Mountain Rose Kindergarten. The last day of school for the class will now be June 24th instead of June 17th,2021.

Your children have not been exposed to the infected individual and they are therefore considered contacts of contacts so they do not need to quarantine.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. We apologize for this substantial inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Administration.
