Dear Parent or Guardian,
The health and safety of our school community is important to everyone. The CMSD COVID Hotline team wants to make you aware that there may have been individuals in our schools who were infected with COVID-19 that were not known or reported to us before schools went on winter break.
In partnership with the City of Cleveland Department of Health, we encourage you to monitor your child(ren) and members of your household for possible symptoms of COVID-19. Symptoms may include:
● Fever or chills
● Headache
● Cough
● Loss of taste or smell
● Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
● Sore throat
● Fatigue
● Congestion or runny nose
● Muscle or body aches
● Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
If you or your child(ren) experience any of these symptoms, please stay home and contact your healthcare provider to be tested. If your child(ren) or another member in your household tests positive, please call our CMSD COVID hotline at 216-838-9355 or email covid@clevelandmetroschools.org.
We all have a role to play in staying healthy. As a reminder, wash your hands often, keep a distance of 3-6 feet between yourself and others whenever possible, clean commonly touched surfaces daily, wear a mask when outside or in any group setting and cover your cough and sneeze.
Don’t forget, vaccination is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from COVID-19.
Thank you for helping to keep our school community safe.
