Changes to COVID General Exposure Notification Process for Students and Families - As of Thursday, January 20, 2022
In light of the current high volume of COVID notifications, and the significant impact this is having on school personnel time, the following changes will be implemented to the process for notifying our families of general class and bus route exposure to COVID-19 as of tomorrow Thursday, January 20, 2022. The goal is to provide easy access for our parents and families to up-to-date information while supporting our schools to focus on educating and supporting our students.
General class exposure email notifications will no longer be sent out to families. Instead, families will be able to view information regarding potential exposure to positive COVID cases, by class and bus route, on the district website at their convenience.
Please note, that if your student is required to quarantine you will receive communication directly from your campus.
Each school has a ‘Notification Dashboard’ on the district website that will be updated daily identifying the same key information that is currently included in the letters.
Bus route notifications will also be posted on the website on a ‘Transportation Notification Dashboard’.
