Dear WSD Families,
February 12, 2021 – I am writing to you to let you know that a member of our learning community has a confirmed positive case of COVID-19. At this time, we have no reason to believe there is any evidence of transmission occurring in the building.
Our COVID-19 Coordinators are working closely with the Vermont Department of Health (VDH) to keep everyone in our learning community as safe as possible.
Yesterday, the WSD COVID-19 Co-Coordinators called all individuals considered close contacts of the positive case. If you have not been contacted, that means you and/or your child are not considered a close contact of the positive case.
27 people are currently in quarantine because they are considered close contacts of the positive individual. 11 people are in quarantine because they are symptomatic, awaiting test results, or finishing their 14-day quarantine.
The WSD COVID-19 Response Team, has decided to cancel the high school’s home basketball games scheduled for this afternoon out of an abundance of caution.
Please continue to protect yourself and others from the spread of COVID, so that we can keep our schools open and our community healthy.
