Superintendent: 1 More Case at Staples High School; 15 Total
Data from the WPS Reopening Schools Dashboard. Press ReleaseDear Westport Families and Staff,
In our efforts to remain transparent with reports of positive Covid-19 cases associated with our schools, we will continue to provide these updates as information is confirmed. As of the time I am writing to you this evening we have 1 newly confirmed case today of COVID-19. The report came from the following school:
Staples High School - 1
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
