Dear Parents,
Our school district was notified this morning that there is a single positive test result of Covid-19 with a student at Hickory High School. We are pleased to share that the student is currently healthy and asymptomatic. As a result of the positive test, we are contacting all students (and parents) individually who were direct contacts and asking them to quarantine. The quarantine will continue through October 27 and the students who were direct contacts will be allowed to return on Wednesday, October 28. All of the actions taken are in cooperation with the Department of Health.
The Department of Health recommends that we all continue to monitor our children and ourselves for symptoms. If you are experiencing symptoms, please see your Primary Care Physician who can make the determination if you or your child need to be tested.
At this point, all remaining classrooms and other activities in the district will continue as scheduled.
Sincerely,
Daniel Bell
Superintendent
