Dear KSPA Families,

 

We have learned of a positive COVID case at our school. After learning of a positive COVID case at our school, we tracked potential contacts and exposures then identified staff and students who needed to quarantine and get tested for COVID and assessed the school as a whole. Our campus and regional leadership, informed by data and guidance from health officials, assessed the circumstances. At this time we have determined your child does not need to quarantine.

 

It is recommended that you monitor your student/child closely for symptoms consistent with COVID-19 such as headache, cough, fever or chills, shortness of breath, new loss of taste or smell, or nausea:

  • Isolate your student following these isolation instructions.

  • Have your student/child tested.

  • Continue to keep your student/child home from school and avoid other activities around other people.

  • Seek medical care and testing for COVID-19, calling your doctor before you show up. You may contact the Denver Health School Based Health Center at 303 602-8958 for no-cost medical care for further evaluation.

  • In the event of a positive Covid test result, notify the school the morning of Monday, November 29th when the offices are open.  

 

If you have further questions, please contact KSPA’s main line at 303.623.5772 or Denver Department of Public Health and Environment at 720-913-1311 or by email at DDPHEOutbreaks@denvergov.org.   

 

We are grateful that you trust us with your KIPPsters every day and we take the responsibility for their health and safety very seriously. Thank you for your understanding and your continued commitment to KSPA and to our safety and health protocols.

 

Sincerely,

 

Emily Yates

Principal
