Primary, Middle, and High School COVID-19 Cases (12/20/21)
Dear ECS Families,
The ECS administration was alerted that a High School staff member, a High School student, a Primary School student, and a Middle School student have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. 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 levels or buildings, your buildings’ principals have already contacted you via email.
All ECS buildings will remain open.
For more information about COVID-19 quarantine guidelines, please refer to the CDC’s steps for determining close contacts and quarantine.
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
