Superintendent: 7 New COVID-19 Cases in District, 5 at Staples
From the Reopening Westport DashboardPress 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 7 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 from yesterday and today. The reports came from the following schools:
Kings Highway Elementary School - 1
Coleytown Middle School - 1
Staples High School - 5
As a reminder, families are asked to report positive COVID-19 cases of students using our reporting voicemail or email regardless of whether the students are in remote or in-person 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.
Respectfully,
Thomas Scarice
Superintendent of Schools
