Dear Parents, Guardians, Faculty and Staff,
Today we received notice that two of our students has tested positive for COVID-19. The student has been sent home to quarantine or was already home. If your child
was in a classroom with the COVID-19 positive student, you have phone call from administration regarding your child’s exposure.
Over the next 24 hours the Leon County Department of Health will contact
anyone who potentially had close contact with this student and advise them of the next steps they must follow. A close contact is defined as someone who was within
six feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes.
The Leon County Health Department is in the process of contact tracing and will directly notify families if their child has been potentially exposed. 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 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. For
more information about the student and family protocol please visit https://www.leonschools.net/Page/49637.
The health and safety of our students is our highest priority. If you have further questions do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Thank you and take care.
