Dear fourth grade families,

This email is to inform you that unfortunately a student in the 4th Grade class has tested positive for COVID-19 today, Friday, May 20th. The student's symptoms, a scratchy throat, started this morning. The student was last in school yesterday, 5/19.

All exposed students:

• Should test immediately on learning of exposure - pls test before attending the Music Share
• All class must take a rapid antigen test every other day until day 5 after exposure. 
• The whole class must wear a well fitting mask for 10 days (until 5/30 - end of day)

Testing is strongly recommended so we can inform other families about their risk, but if a family chooses not to test, the child must remain at home for a full 5 days and then wear a mask at school unless they have an alternate diagnosis from a medical provider.

Testing Schedule:

• Today, 5/20
• Monday 5/23
• Weds 5/25

You may choose to test your child on Sunday as well (every other day after exposure), but the school will still need a test to be taken the morning of Monday 5/23, prior to arrival.

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.

If you have any questions, please contact Covid Confidential

Thank you,

Susan Ramaty
