Dear Parents and Staff:
The Clinton Public Schools received
notification of a positive COVID-19 test result for a member of The Morgan
School community. The individual who tested positive was last in school
on Friday, November 19, 2021.
Following the guidance of CT River Area
Health District (CRAHD), our local health district, and the CT State Department
of Public Health, contact tracing was conducted today. All individuals who were
determined to be in close contact with the positive cases have received a phone
call and have been informed about required actions.
As we move into the winter season, our
schools continue to work to implement our mitigation strategies to ensure a
safe learning environment and to minimize transmission and the number of
quarantines that are necessary. The proven mitigation strategies, including
vaccination, mask-wearing indoors, social distancing, and hand hygiene are
necessary to reduce and control the spread of COVID-19. As a reminder, if
any staff or students exhibit any of the symptoms related to COVID-19 they
should stay home, call their medical provider to report their symptoms, and
notify School Nurse Supervisor Donna Frechette at [email protected] or 860-664-6572.
The District will continue to respond to
notifications of positive COVID-19 cases of students or staff in the district,
to work closely with the CT River Area Health District, and to communicate with
our families and staff all required information and notifications.
Summary data of positive cases and public health metrics are updated weekly and
can be found on the COVID-19
dashboard on the district
website.
If you have questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me or our School Nurse Supervisor Donna Frechette at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Maryann
R. O’Donnell
Superintendent
