October 22, Weekly District COVID Update

Weekly District COVID-19 Update – Friday, October 22, 2021

Good afternoon, Wildcats!

Parents, as the weather continues to cool, we are seeing a rise in some common seasonal symptoms associated with not only COVID-19 but also the many other illnesses that ramp up during the colder months. Our medical community has advised us that cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD), in particular, are on the rise with local outbreaks.

We ask that you be extra vigilant in monitoring your child's health and keep your students home if they are not well. In most instances, students displaying symptoms of illness should not return to school until they are 24-hours symptom-free. This extra measure helps to keep our classrooms safe.

Our teachers and administrators continue to thank you for your diligent support on this front.
