Today’s Postive COVID Cases

January 4, 2021

Dear Families:

Today, we learned of the following positive COVID cases:

2 CCHS Student

2 Willard Students

1 Alcott Adult

1 CMS Adult

One of these cases resulted in close contacts due to school-related activities over the break.

While the patterns we are seeing are not unexpected, I do hope it helps us all to remember our part in slowing the spread of the virus.

• Traveling has risks to it and we have seen that on multiple occasions.  Please consider staying local until the virus rates have reduced.  We are appreciative of the adherence to the protocols when travel does happen.
• Simple gatherings of friends can also spread the virus.  If even small groups of adults or students are going to be together, it is very important to wear masks and physically distance.  Of course, not gathering in any groups outside of the immediate family is best.
• I do offer a reminder that the impact of a positive case is not just about the individual or family member involved.  Quarantine has a significant impact especially on the lives of young people when they cannot attend school for extended periods.  Of course, those at greatest risk can get seriously ill.

We are so grateful for your support.

Have a good night.

Best,

Laurie
