Dear first grade families,

This email is to inform you that a student in the 1st Grade class has tested positive for COVID-19 today, 5/7. The student was last in school on Friday, 5/6. 

We recommend testing your child as soon as you can after receiving this message, as well as on the following dates:

• Monday, 5/9 
• Weds, 5/11 (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 5/16)
• watch for symptoms until 10 days (5/16) 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 and Take Care,

MLWS COVID-19 Health & Safety Task force
