Superintendent: No New COVID-19 Cases Going into Weekend 

Press Release

Dear Westport Families and Staff,

I am pleased to share with you this afternoon that we have had no new positive cases of Covid-19 reported at our schools today. 

As a reminder, families are asked to report positive of COVID-19 cases of students using our reporting voicemail or email regardless of whether the students are in remote or hybrid models of instruction. Please follow this link for more information on reporting.

Additionally, we want to remind families that students with pending Covid-19 tests should not return to school until receiving negative results. This approach is critical in helping us continue minimizing the potential for transmission in our schools.

The positive update from today, combined with the nice weather this afternoon, starts our weekend off on the right note.

Respectfully,

Thomas Scarice

Superintendent of Schools
