DISTRICT WIDE
- When we are notified that a person who is confirmed positive with COVID-19 has been in one of our school buildings, we will communicate with all families of that school.
- This notification is intended to raise awareness and provide transparency and does not imply that there was a close contact exposure with students. Once a positive case has been identified, we work quickly to determine if there has been an exposure at school and who, if anyone, is a close contact of that individual.
- If your child is ever identified as having an exposure, please know you will be contacted personally from someone on our COVID-19 Response Team. If you do not receive a separate close contact communication, your student has NOT been identified as a close contact of the case. Close contact is defined as having a cumulative of 15 minutes or more of less than 3-feet distancing (for students) and 6-feet distancing (for adults) within 24 hours.
- We understand that this notification may generate questions and concerns. It is our hope that these updates will remind us all how we can work to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our communities and to provide you with timely information.
CLEAR LAKE ELEMENTARY PROCESS
- If I think your child has been exposed to COVID, has a positive COVID test, or has COVID symptoms, please contact our school office as well as your health care provider.
