Tuesday's Hopeful Return
Good Afternoon C-F Families,
Our current coronavirus outbreak has been entirely limited to members of our staff and their children with most exposures occurring over the long Labor Day weekend. I am happy to report, however, that we have had no additional positive test results or newly symptomatic individuals for over 72 hours. Barring catastrophe, we will be back in-person on Tuesday.
Although we want to avoid all closures in the months ahead, the current pandemic trends are going to make that very difficult. Like last year, our weakest link is staffing - if we can't keep enough of our teachers, aides and drivers healthy, closures may occur. In addition, we will have to close classrooms and/or grade levels if positive children expose others.
Our Best Defense: The single best defense we have against these closures is keeping all sick students and staff members home and away from others. Several of our currently positive staff members thought their initial symptoms were season colds or allergies. They were wrong and many others were exposed and infected as a result. Please don't make the same mistake.
We know it's disruptive keeping students home but doing so could save us from closing entire classrooms or grades from in-person instruction. Please do your part to protect others and keep even mildly sick students home.
Thank you,
Kevin
Superintendent
