Dear sixth grade families,

We are so sorry to be informing you of positive COVID cases in your child's class at the start of the break. As you know, two faculty members and one student has tested positive in your child's class.

Based on the last date of exposure being Friday, April 8th we recommend a test being taken asap today and again tomorrow, which is Day 5 after exposure. If your child has tested positive for COVID within 90 days they do not need to test, unless they develop any possible symptoms.

Symptomatic individuals, regardless of vaccination status, or recent infection, should remain home and if positive or not tested, stay home and isolate for 5 days.

In addition to testing, all those who have had a positive exposure should:

• wear a well fitting mask around others for 10 days (day 0 is date of positive exposure, so wear a mask until end of day Monday, April 18th)
• watch for symptoms until 10 days (4/18) after the date of the last close contact
• If a positive test result, or COVID-19 symptoms develop, please isolate and inform the school immediately.

If you have any questions, please contact Covid Confidential

Thank you,

MLWS COVID-19 Health & Safety Task force
