    October 5, 2020

    Dear Families & Community:

    Today, we received notification from a parent that someone associated with our school district – a
    student from the High School – has tested positive for COVID-19.

    There is nothing more important to Mattawan Consolidated School 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. Here are details:

     a high school student tested positive on Friday, October 2, 2020;


     the district was notified of this on Monday, October 5, 2020;
     the district assisted the local Health Department with contact tracing;
     the district contacted all staff and students who met the criteria for ‘close contact’ with the
    student and provided this information to the local Health Department;
     the district, in consultation with local health department officials, determined who needed
    to quarantine and notified them of such; and,
     the district provided additional sanitizing to areas within the building where the case
    occurred.
     Transportation was not impacted.
     It is important to note that if you did not receive communication from the district or health
    department, then you and/or your child was not within ‘close contact.’

    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, it is
    important to be sensible, but to also 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.

    Mattawan Consolidated School will continue to clean and disinfect surfaces inside all district schools
    and ancillary facilities and buses. Recommendations for best practices to help prevent the spread of
    this global pandemic:

     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, if possible. If you must go out, practice social distancing, leaving at least six feet
    between you and other people.
     Avoid gatherings that include more than 10 people.
