Dear Fostertown School Families and Staff:

The district will continue to inform families and staff about any confirmed positive cases on COVID-19 reported from a school or district building regardless of whether or not scholars and/or staff are present in the school or district building at that time. This protocol is in an effort to keep you informed about your school community. Additionally, we recognize that our scholars, faculty, and staff maintain relationships beyond our school walls and into our local community. We feel it is important to keep you informed, so that you can check in with your social network when a case is confirmed at a particular school or district building. 

On April 21, 2021 we learned about an individual who tested positive for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) from Fostertown School. Please note, this individual was last present in the school building on April 19, 2021. Children and/or staff that were in direct or proximate contact with the positive case will be contacted by district staff and/or Orange County Department of Health and will be instructed to quarantine.

In an effort to maintain transparency, we are writing to keep you informed of positive cases whether an individual has been present in a school building or not. Additionally, we recognize that our scholars, faculty, and staff maintain relationships beyond our school walls and into our local community. We feel it is important to keep you informed, so that you can check in with your social network when a case is confirmed at a particular school building. 

We recommend that you take action to help limit the spread of COVID-19, even if your child is not experiencing symptoms. The most important things you can do:

• Make sure your child is wearing a mask
• Make sure your child is washing their hands
• Keep your child home if they are sick
• Call your primary care provider if you or your child has symptoms of COVID-19

What is COVID-19?

How does COVID-19 spread?

COVID-19 spreads mainly from having close contact with someone who has a COVID-19 infection.  The virus is thought to spread by droplets from person to person when they speak, cough, or sneeze.  Droplets travel less than 6 feet.  When droplets from another person get in your mouth or nose you can inhale into your lungs.  This virus can be spread by people without symptoms.

How can parents and guardians help prevent COVID-19 from spreading?
