Community Letter January 2, 2022
January 2, 2022
Greetings,
This letter is being sent with important reminders as we prepare to return to school on Monday, January 3, 2022. Again, our priority is the health and safety of our student body and staff. It takes the entire district working together to make sure that priority remains at the forefront as we prepare for return.
If your student tested positive for COVID-19 between December 20, 2021 right up until January 3, 2022 (and beyond) please email lab results to the school nurse. Below is the contact information for each nurse:
Noble High School/Mary Hurd Academy- Amy Creighton (amy.creighton@msad60.org)
Noble Middle School-Katherine Grant (katherine.grant@msad60.org)
No. Berwick Elementary School-Jennifer Hamel (jennifer.hamel@msad60.org)
Lebanon/Hanson Schools- Taryn Frizzell (taryn.frizzell@msad60.org)
Knowlton School- Kathryn Mariscal (kathryn.mariscal@msad60.org)
Hussey School- Maghen Ward (maghen.ward@msad60.org)
Please monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19, which can include:
fever or chills cough
shortness of breath or difficulty breathing fatigue
muscle or body aches headache
diarrhea sore throat
congestion/runny nose nausea or vomiting
new loss of taste or smell
Please follow the Pre-Screening Tool for School Attendance (included with this correspondence) and keep your student home from school as needed. Also important is to keep your student home if you are awaiting their test results. Should someone in the household have a positive test result, please reach out to your school nurse for further guidance.
As many of you are aware, the national CDC has recently revised some COVID-19 guidelines. The most publicized is quarantine times, but there are other recommendations as well. The Maine CDC, along with the Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services, are revising the Guidelines for Schools based on the recent shifts at the national level. Further district information will be sent out regarding updated Maine guidelines over the course of the next few days as we review and plan for shifts in procedures.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely
Audra Beauvais
Superintendent of Schools
