District-Wide COVID-19 Cases (1/10/22)
Dear ECS Families,
The ECS administration was alerted of the following positive COVID-19 cases today:
1 Primary School Student
1 Primary School Staff Member
4 Middle School Staff Members
1 High School Staff Member
1 Home Office Staff Member
The Building Response Team met to review our protocols, close contacts were alerted, and the health department was notified.
The appropriate quarantine and isolation procedures have been taken by the individuals to recover at home. The classrooms have undergone nightly deep cleans as a part of our regular cleaning procedures.
The only individuals that need to quarantine are those who have been personally contacted by the Department of Health or ECS as a close contact. If you were a close contact, you would have been notified prior to receiving this communication.
If the individuals were in your student’s grade level or building, your building’s principal has already contacted you via email.
Current Closures:
The 3rd grade is extending its virtual learning with a return to school on Thursday, Jan. 13. Please check your email for more information from Ms. Williams.
Middle School is scheduled to return to in-person learning on Wednesday, Jan. 12.
The high school will return to in-person learning on Tuesday, Jan. 18.
All other grade levels remain open.
For more information about ECS COVID-19 quarantine guidelines, please refer to the ECS January Quarantine Procedures.
As a reminder, health and safety begin as soon as your child(ren) leaves home, and it is important for students and staff to self-screen for symptoms of COVID-19. If you are symptomatic or may have come in contact with a person who tested positive, please stay home and contact your school nurse immediately. Your cooperation with sharing information with our school nurses and reporting any positive COVID-19 cases in your family helps keep our schools safe.
Please reach out with any questions or concerns that you may have.
--The ECS Team
