Dear Farrell B. Howell ECE-8 School Families,

It is our priority to keep you updated and informed of incidents related to safety and I want to make you aware of new COVID-19 cases which have been reported to me:

• A student or staff member within 1st Grade was diagnosed with COVID-19, close contacts of this individual case were notified by the school nurse and instructed to quarantine (if necessary.) The individual who tested positive was instructed to isolate at home until they are no longer considered contagious following state and local guidelines.
• A student or staff member within 7th Grade was diagnosed with COVID-19, close contacts of this individual case were notified by the school nurse and instructed to quarantine (if necessary.) The individual who tested positive was instructed to isolate at home until they are no longer considered contagious following state and local guidelines.

If you have any concerns about your health, we encourage you to contact the Denver Health School Based Health Center team at 303-602-8958 (or your primary care provider) for further evaluation and possible testing.

Please remember to report any positive cases of COVID or possible exposure within your household by calling my office at 720-424-2746. I am here to provide you with the latest information and guidance about when students should remain home and when they may return. My goal is to help ensure the health and safety of our students and their families.

Sincerely,

Richard Ruthersby, BSN, RN, NCSN
