Important COVID Update
Cambrian School District, January 11, 2022
Dear Cambrian Families,
Thank you for your patience as we transition to the updated COVID -19 guidelines given to us by the California Public Health Department (CPHD). Our school teams have done an incredible job shifting to the new guidance and ramping up testing to support the safety of our students and community. Like most changes, it has not been without bumps and frustrations. As is the case in many school districts, Cambrian is also experiencing delays in receiving test results. This is very frustrating for everyone involved. We will continue to do our best to get updated information. We continue to follow the safety protocols that have been effective to date.
UPDATES
Starting tomorrow, we will update the Cambrian School District Dashboard daily (https://www.cambriansd.org/Domain/709). With this change, sites will no longer be sending out the school-wide exposure notices. School sites will continue with close contact and classroom notices. The Dashboard will be updated around 5:00 p.m. daily, Monday-Friday, reflecting the number of positive COVID-19 cases of students and staff recorded that day.
Moving forward, school-based exposures where both parties were wearing a mask, will be tested on Day 5 rather than Day 1 and 5. School-Based Exposures where one or both parties were not wearing a mask will continue to be tested on Day 1 and Day 5. This is according to the CPHD guidance. The COVID-19 Decision Tree was created by the County Health Department to help K-12 schools implement the California Public Health Department guidelines.
Unfortunately, we will need to cancel our community testing this Wednesday, January 11th at the district office due to test shortages. We will continue testing close contacts, symptomatic students, and return to school/work at each school site. We are anxiously anticipating the arrival of additional tests and plan on resuming testing at the district office on Wednesday, January 18th.
Again I can not reiterate enough how much I appreciate the community support during these challenging times. I assure you our team is working hard to keep Cambrian students and staff safe and healthy.
