Dear Parents,
We were notified that a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. The staff member has been sent home
to quarantine or was already at home. If your child was in a classroom with a COVID-19 positive staff member, you will receive a letter from administration today.
We will be contacting anyone who potentially had close contact with the staff member 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.
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 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.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Williams

Springwood Elementary School
