Dear fourth grade families,

We have been informed that a student in the class has tested positive for COVID-19. They were in school on Friday, 8th April and only developed symptoms on Monday, 11th April. The student tested positive with a PCR test taken on 4/13 and received the result today.

Given the timing of the student’s symptoms the class is not considered a close contact. An infected person can spread SARS-CoV-2 starting 2 days before they have any symptoms (or, for asymptomatic people, 2 days before the positive specimen collection date). That said, out of an abundance of caution, we recommend testing your children today to rule out any possible chance of their being infected. Please also keep an eye out for any possible symptoms. If your child does test positive, please let us know immediately.

If you have any questions, please contact Covid Confidential

Thank you,

MLWS COVID-19 Health & Safety Task force
