Dear Families:

I am sharing a few updates and upcoming events.

Positive COVID Case on Opposing JV Field Hockey Team

Earlier tonight, we learned that one of the JV field hockey players on the opposing team at yesterday’s CCHS game is COVID positive. The public health nurses in both towns and MDPH are in agreement that the CCHS girls do not need to quarantine or be tested.  We will continue to communicate with anyone who has questions or concerns.
