Intermediate School COVID-19 Case (11/10/21)

Dear ECS Families, 

The ECS administration was alerted that an Intermediate School student has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. The Building Response Team met to review our protocols:

• It was determined that there were no close contacts.

• The appropriate quarantine and isolation procedures have been taken by the individual 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 individual was in your student’s grade level or building, your building’s principal has already contacted you via email. 

• All ECS buildings will remain open.

For more information about COVID-19 quarantine guidelines, please refer to COVID-19 Quarantine Guidance Flowchart.

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
