Greetings Lincoln staff and families,
The weeks of April 25th through 30th 2021, Lincoln Elementary had two positive student and staff COVID-19 cases. Out of those cases, four had close contacts due to school or school related activities or athletics. Lincoln Elementary administration has reached out to all the close contact families. If you have not been called, you are not defined as a close contact in the school setting.
Close contacts include students and staff members who were within six (6) feet of the individual for at least 15 cumulative minutes in a classroom or in other school spaces. Due to the new guidelines from the North Dakota Department of Health, if a close contact and the positive individual are both wearing masks, the close contact does not need to quarantine if asymptomatic.
The Fargo Public Schools Smart Restart Plan, including further recommended protocols for positive COVID-19 scenarios and additional community resources, can be found online at www.fargo.k12.nd.us/SmartRestart.
Together, through our diligent efforts to follow recommended individual and collective health and safety protocols, we can limit the further transmission of COVID-19 at Lincoln Elementary.
Sincerely,
Megan Kiser (She/Her/Hers)
Principal Lincoln Elementary
