https://5il.co/l3ts Attention parents: Today we were notified of our first COVID-19 positive cases here at Shady Point Schools. As per our school policies and procedures we initiated contact tracing and identified the students who were possibly exposed. Students’ parents were then notified, and they were sent home where they will remain in quarantine for 14 days. Their 14-day window started on Tuesday and will end on September 29th. September 29th will be the first day they can return to school. There was some confusion about testing and returning to school. We had originally hoped that students who received a negative test be released from quarantine early. Upon receiving further guidance from the health Department students must remain in quarantine for 14 days even if they have received a negative COVID-19 test. I apologize for the confusion our earlier message may have caused. We will continue to monitor our students and our staff for any COVID-19 related symptoms. Also, we will continue to thoroughly clean and disinfect all campus facilities throughout the day ensuring that our students have a safe environment here at school. All schoolwork for students who have been sent home for quarantine will be as follows. • Students in grades PK-2 were sent home with their work for the next week. • Students in grades 3-8 will have a packet ready for pickup on Friday afternoon. These students will be • Additional packets will be available next Thursday (9/24) for the following week. Thank you for your patience and diligence with this issue.
