Dear parents, staff, and community members:

Today, we received notification that a school district employee has tested positive for COVID-19. While we must protect the privacy of the person involved, we believe it is best to communicate transparently with you so you can make well-informed decisions for your family.

There is nothing more important to district than the safety and health of our students, our staff, and their families. We are working directly with county health officials to address this situation. They have recommended we share the following with you: We received notification this morning that one of our staff members from our secondary school has tested positive for COVID-19. After speaking with the individual, the North Central Health Department feels that there is minimal risk to the students and staff. There is no need for us to adjust how we are operating at this time.  The schools will remain open for the time being.  We will continue to follow all COVID-related safety procedures including.

COVID-19 is transmitted through person-to-person contact and through the exchange of respiratory droplets. As more cases are being confirmed across the state, including in our community, we must be vigilant. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. If you or any member of your family exhibit these symptoms, please contact your medical provider for advice immediately. Symptoms usually appear 2-14 days after exposure.

The CDC recommends the following best practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid close contact with those who are sick.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve.
• Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
• Disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects.
• Stay at home when you are sick.
• Practice social distancing, leaving at least six feet between
  you and other people.
• Wear a cloth mask in public when you cannot social distance.

Our greatest priority is the safety of our students, staff, and community members. It is important to remember that children are greatly influenced by the reactions of adults when facing difficult circumstances. I encourage everyone to remain calm and to be empathic and respectful to those affected.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your family, especially as we face this challenging situation together. Thank you for your support of district.

Sincerely,

Jim Doramus

      Guidelines for 2020 Sports Events

The Midvale and Cambridge School Districts (JSD 433/432) have put in place protective measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however,  we cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending activities on the campuses of Midvale/ Cambridge (JSD 433/432) could increase your risk and your child’s risk of contracting COVID-19. All visitors voluntarily assume the risk that they may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending activities on JSD 433/432 Campuses.

Protective Guidelines:

1. In the event that any person, including: athletes, coaches, fans or support staff is feeling ill or has a fever, it is required that the individual not attend activities at Midvale/Cambridge Schools.

2. Midvale/Cambridge will do a health screening of all players and coaches, before arriving at opponents’ facilities.  We encourage our visitors to also screen their players and coaches before arriving at our facilities.

4. Student athletes will provide their own hydration source and will not share.

Topic: Possible Exposure to COVID-19

Dear Salmon River JSD 243 parents, staff, and community members:

As our country fights the spread of COVID-19, we believe one of our greatest responsibilities is to communicate transparently and often with you, our school community. It is our hope that accurate and up-to-date correspondence will help you make well-informed decisions for your family. Nothing is more important to our District than the safety and health of our students, our employees and their families. When we work together, we can provide the best care for all involved.

Last night, we learned the following information: A family member of some of our students tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. As a safe guard and added protection the students will be self-quarantining for a time period determined by the North Central Health Department. School and all activities will continue as normal at this time.

The district will continue to clean and disinfect surfaces inside all district schools. Additionally, we will continue to follow appropriate protocols, and monitor the health of all of our students and staff.

As more cases are being confirmed across the state, it is important to remain vigilant. The CDC recommends the following best practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid close contact with those who are sick.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve.
• Disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects.
• Practice social distancing, leaving at least six feet between you and other people.
• When you are unable to practice social distancing in a public setting, wear a cloth mask.

Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. If you or any member of your family exhibit these symptoms, you are encouraged to contact your medical provider for advice immediately. Symptoms usually appear 2-14 days after exposure.

Our greatest priority is the safety of our students, staff, and community members. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your family, especially as we face this challenging situation together. Thank you for your support.
