Superintendent: 11 Cases in 5 Schools
Westport Superintendent of SchoolsDear Westport Families and Staff,
As shared previously, we are providing weekly updates of confirmed positive cases of Covid-19 associated with our schools. The news cases reported this week all went through a thorough contact tracing protocol which allowed for limited quarantining of students.
We have 11 newly confirmed cases of Covid-19 from Tuesday through today. The reports came from the following schools:
Stepping Stones Preschool - 2
Coleytown Elementary School - 1
Greens Farms Elementary School - 4
Long Lots Elementary School - 3
Bedford Middle School - 1
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
