CONTACT TRACING AT RICHMOND HS 1-7-20
Here is a link to a letter to Richmond Staff https://5il.co/odb3
CONTACT TRACING at HDMHS, but no change in schedule. Over break there was a small group of students who need to quarantine. None of those individuals attended school this week. Therefore, there is no impact on schedule for the rest of the school or district.
Again, please use the daily health screener and flow chart about when to return if you have symptoms.
Most common covid symptoms are new cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, fever, chills, sore throat. Less common symptoms include muscle pain, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, new headache, or congestion/runny nose. The health screener indicates when to stay home, and your physician office or school nurse can help you determine when it is appropriate for return to school if you have questions.
CONTACT TRACING in RSU 2, but no change in schedule.
Over break there were a hand full of staff spread across the RSU who need to quarantine and a small group of students from Monmouth. None of those individuals who need to quarantine attended school yesterday.
Therefore, there is no impact on schedule for the rest of the staff and students in the district.
A special thank you to all who followed the suggested safety guidelines over break in an effort to help keep our schools open.
Remember to use the daily screener before leaving home, and stay home to take care of yourself when you are sick.
Happy New Year!
May the holiday season fill your home with joy, your heart with love, and your life with laughter.
Holiday break is 12/23/20 through 1/3/21.

CONTACT TRACING UPDATE:
As of today, 6 of our 7 schools have been touched by Covid 19 since September. The remote learning lengths have been varied because in each situation the positive case has had a different level of impact (based on # of contacts and their roles). We have been relatively lucky. This week one case related to RMHS had no impact on the school schedule as the positive case was not in school during the contagious period. Today, one case connected to MMS is creating a remote learning situation for the next three school days Mon, Tues and Mon 11/30, with an anticipated return to regular hybrid schedule on Tuesday 12/1.
Please do all you can during Thanksgiving week (and beyond) to help stop the spread of the virus. Mask wearing, physical distancing, wellness activities, and getting a flu shot are more important than ever.
Take Care.
MMS CONTACT TRACING
Due to one positive case connected to MMS, all students will be remote learning next Monday and Tuesday, as well as Monday 11/30. At this time we anticipate a return to the regular hybrid schedule beginning Tuesday 12/1/20.
Principal Barter and/or teachers will send a separate message with remote learning instructions for students and families.

The CDC still deems it safe for the PreK-5 grades at MMS to resume the typical hybrid learning schedule tomorrow.
All other schools in RSU 2 are safe to continue with our hybrid model learning as scheduled.
Any one with questions about their own particular circumstances, can call 211 for guidance.
