Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,
On the afternoon of Friday, October 9, we were informed of a positive COVID-19 test within our school district. Contact tracing is in progress through our partnership with the Lincoln County Health Department. Should your child be identified as having been in close contact with the positive case, you will be notified by school administration, and subsequently, the Lincoln County Health Department.
In the meantime, please continue to monitor your children for any symptoms associated with COVID-19. Keep them home if they are sick and follow up with your healthcare provider or the LCHD.
As always, thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we maintain our goal of in-person learning while keeping the safety and welfare of all staff and students as our number one priority.
