Dear Cobb Families,
Today we received notice that one of our staff members has tested positive for COVID-19.
If your child is a close contact, you have received a letter regarding quarantine from FOCUS/Parent Portal to your documented email address on file. Parents, if you do not have an updated email address & phone number in Parent Portal we strongly encourage you to update your contact information as soon as possible.

These situations, unfortunate as they are, highlight the importance of everyone doing their part to minimize the spread of this virus: consider being vaccinated, stay home when sick or while waiting for COVID-19 test results, keep things clean and sanitized, utilize proper hand washing, wear masks, and maintain social distancing.
We take our commitment to your child's safety seriously and are working closely with the Leon County Health Department to follow guidelines and best practices during this time.
