Health & Safety

COVID-19 Update

This week, Scottsdale Prep does not have any additional positive Covid cases to report. At this time, the current total at Scottsdale Prep:

One (1) confirmed case of Covid on campus (week of October 19)
Three (3) confirmed cases of Covid, with no contact on campus (week of October 12)

Please reach out to Headmaster Chaney via email with any questions.

Close Contact Update: Great Hearts has amended its definition of close contact to match the one currently being used by the CDC and the MCDHS. Close Contact will now be defined as “Any individual within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated.”

Temperature Takers Needed!

Do you have a few minutes to help out in the mornings? Please Sign-up here for a time slot to take temperatures in the front or back of the building.

Health Office Reminder

The best defense is a good offense, particularly for this flu season. Flu vaccinations will be vital to reduce the respiratory illnesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. HELP STOP THE SPREAD

GET YOUR FLU SHOT!
