Dear Riley Community,



We received notice that an individual  has tested positive for COVID-19.  The individual has been sent home to quarantine or was already at home.  If your child was in a classroom with the individual who tested positive, a letter was sent home with your student today. To ensure that you receive the most up-to-date information regarding your child, please update your contact information in Parent Portal by logging on to https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.leonschools.net%2fparentportal&c=E,1,DBLRZTb_DCW9-DgKilJP8Il_g0YIcjsGQh6lQmt0eiPVrM9s5t909VLRuOUxYzFB8NOX2suYPp8831JoTt_E18M4h4vJoxI1vflAirQUttGhrqa0R50Z4C-dag,,&typo=1<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinkprotect.cudasvc.com%2Furl%3Fa%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fwww.leonschools.net%252fparentportal%26c%3DE%2C1%2CQh_aTRLjKNj_YNWPpsnnyQRkPReTOT8ImMeQC2d6B0i87MlqAr6lmYGK9vS6mjP6j0vN4yK9f8rEkmrij8Zkm8i0MhGKyd4ZonMPWdMPgRnl6g0%2C%26typo%3D1&data=04%7C01%7Cbrownl2%40LEONSCHOOLS.NET%7Caee85e15e55a4f8611d308d90b4c66fd%7C69292adba72a4537aa24d67a6f5642bc%7C0%7C0%7C637553245049763950%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=0LMqwPpOdXgkrdKXP0ZPxMKGTgi2DLQt10k%2F1a3mlYk%3D&reserved=0>.



Anyone who potentially had close contact with the individual & will need to be quarantined will receive a phone call from Riley and a letter from the Health Department advising them of the steps they must follow during their quarantine. 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: stay home when sick or while waiting for COVID-19 test results, keep things clean and sanitized, utilize proper hand washing, wear a mask, 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.
