Dear Parents, Guardians, Faculty and Staff,







Today we received notice that one of our Oak Ridge students has tested positive for COVID-19. The student was already at home and has not been to school to be in close contact with any staff or students.





There is no one to be considered to be a close contact with this student. A close contact is defined as someone who was within six feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes.







These exposures, 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 CDC guidelines and best practices during this time.
