Dear Arete Prep community,
Yesterday, Wednesday, November 4, I received word of a positive COVID case on campus. We convened the COVID response team to contact trace and quarantine those identified as close contacts. Emails were sent yesterday to the sections most directly impacted by the case. The cleaning crew was notified and deep cleaned the areas identified.
As Mr. Twists letter stated, we have not seen on campus transmission yet and we believe this has to do with the safety measures in place. As COVID-19 cases rise, it continues to be our priority to remain open in a safe a prudent way. We believe we can do that with your continued vigilance.
· If at any time your child shows any symptoms, keep your child home until they are symptom free for 24 hours. This includes runny nose, fever, cough etc. Click here for the info.
· If anyone in your home or that your child has come in close contact with is awaiting test results, please proactively keep your child at home.
· We need your help with maintaining safety in other circles, such that our students may continue to come to school for in-person learning.
· If you find out that someone tests positive that your child has come in close contact with, please contact the front office immediately and keep your child at home.
I am grateful for the COVID response team and the systems that are in place to ensure the we contain the exposure quickly and allow our campus to remain open.
In partnership,
