Health Update: 9 October

Dear Students & Families,

I write to provide a brief update related to an earlier communication from Dr. Hunter.  Contract tracing is complete, and families of students with a risk of exposure have been notified.  I appreciate the efforts of all involved.  

Never perfect and always room for improvement, but everyone worked with urgency and care. The situation is stressful for all involved, but none more than those directly impacted. I urge everyone to avoid unnecessary attempts to determine who tested positive, and who is considered a contact.  They deserve privacy and compassion during a most stressful time.  

Unless notified differently from a coach, athletic practices and games scheduled for today and this weekend can resume as planned.  For details regarding today and next week, Dr. Hunter will host a webinar with Concord Health Officials at 4:00p.m.  Details below.

Lastly, I include a blog post shared on 6 October. The fragility of this situation remains and today arrived with proof we don't need or want, but it does serve as a reminder that we must remain vigilant and steadfast to our collective safety, and that includes the message in my previous blog.  

Lastly, I want to thank the community for the tremendous support we have witnessed since this all began in the spring.  Words can't describe how grateful I am.  Thank you.  Stay safe.


With Gratitude,


Michael J. Mastrullo

Correspondence From Dr. Hunter

Dear Families:

I wanted to provide an update.  As you know, we have plans in place for this scenario and have a comprehensive plan in place to sanitize the school, inform families whose students were at risk of exposure or in close contact, and support the affected family as they navigate this stressful experience. 

Our student body and staff have been closely adhering to the safety protocols including mask-wearing, hand washing, and physical distancing. We are grateful to our families for their continued efforts to keep students home at the first sign of symptoms. These measures, taken in combination, greatly reduce the risk of additional transmission.  

Parents of students who were in close contact with the CCHS community member will be notified privately over the next several hours. We still await information as to the possible case at Peabody. Should we receive a positive test, we will notify those who are close contacts there as well.

 

We are committed to continuous communication with and support of our families.  In addition to regular updates via email, we are hosting a webinar with the Concord Health Officials at 4 p.m. this afternoon. The zoom link is found below. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Best,

Laurie
