COVID-19 Updates
We believe that mask use is helping to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our district. While we have had some students and staff who have tested positive, the number of positives related to these cases has been very low thus far.
However, the Waukesha County Health Department still requires students or staff members who come into close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 to quarantine, regardless of mask use and physical barriers. Close contact is defined as being within six feet or less for 15 or more minutes. Students and staff that have been identified as a close contact must remain in quarantine for 14 days.
Parents should be aware that a negative COVID test does not release a student from quarantine. It's important to note that our legal counsel and liability insurance carrier have made it clear that we need to follow our local health department's guidelines on quarantine procedures.
Also, families are reminded that if your child tests positive for COVID-19, you must contact your child's health room or District Nurse Noel Menghe (menghno@masd.k12.wi.us or 262.363.6292 x27515). Contract tracing for all positive cases must be conducted and any delay in notifying the health room or district nurse could result in additional outbreaks or ill students. Thank you for your cooperation!
MASD COVID-19 Dashboard
Families should note that this information will replace building notifications each time there is a positive COVID-19 case within a school.
The dashboard can be viewed on the Pandemic Information of our district website.
Updates from IT
- Families are asked to identify which child is having technology concerns when placing a help desk ticket. Many families have multiple children and naming the student in question will expedite the support process.
- If you have submitted a ticket with the MASD Help Desk and have not received a timely response, please be sure to watch your Spam folder for replies.
Google Classroom and Seesaw Resources for Families
MASD staff has created short videos for families about Seesaw and Google Classroom. Families interested in learning more about these resources - particularly families in our elementary virtual learning option - should watch these videos before the school year begins.
