Superintendent: 9 New Cases in District since Saturday

Dear Westport Families and Staff,

As mentioned in prior emails, we would move from weekly updates of new positive cases of Covid-19 to more frequent updates as needed. This evening we are providing an update from the past five days. We will move to daily updates during the week to ensure timely information is received by the community. The news cases reported since Saturday all went through a thorough contact tracing protocol which allowed for limited quarantining of students. 

We have 9 newly confirmed cases of Covid-19 from Saturday through today. The reports came from the following schools:

  • Stepping Stones Preschool - 1

  • Greens Farms Elementary School - 3

  • Kings Highway Elementary School - 1

  • Saugatuck Elementary School - 1

  • Bedford Middle School - 3 

Please remember that families are asked to report positive Covid-19 cases of students using our reporting voicemail or email. 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 minimize the potential for transmission in our schools.

Respectfully,

 

Thomas Scarice

Superintendent of Schools
