Within 24 hours of a confirmed COVID-19 laboratory test, Public Health begins an investigation to identify individuals who may have been exposed. Public Health has access to enrollment information such as school class lists and contact information for parents/guardians and staff. Anyone identified as a close contact of the confirmed case will be contacted directly by Public Health and provided instructions regarding self-isolation and COVID-19 testing.
If you have not been contacted by Public Health, your children can continue to attend Kleefeld School. The school remains open. The entire school has been thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and sanitized using our sanitization sprayers.
Respectfully,
Shelley Amos, Interim Superintendent/CEO
