10/10/20 Dear Staunton Families, This release is to inform you it was confirmed with me today by the Macoupin County Public Health Department that a Staunton Junior High School staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. While this employee has been in contact with other Junior High staff members and students at school earlier this week, the employee notified the district once becoming symptomatic. The school district has been working closely with the Macoupin County Public Health Department this weekend, and the employee has been self-quarantined since taking the COVID test. In addition to the positive staff member, seven other Junior High staff members will need to quarantine. Unfortunately, we do not have enough substitutes to cover all the classrooms of the quarantined staff members so I will need to shut down the Junior High School during the quarantine period. There will be no In-Person learning for Staunton Junior High students beginning on Tuesday, October 13th through Tuesday, October 20th. Starting Tuesday, October 13th, Staunton Junior High School students and staff will be following the Full Remote Learning plan through Tuesday, October 20th. Please visit the Staunton District webpage to access the Full Remote Learning plan, and to view your Junior High student’s daily remote learning schedule beginning on Tuesday, October 13th. There is no school for students on Wednesday, October 21st through October 23rd due to Parent Teacher Conferences and a teacher institute. Junior High students and staff will return to In-Person learning on Monday, October 26th. Parent Teacher Conferences will be held beginning on Wednesday, October 21st. Those Junior High teachers not quarantined will move forward with holding their Parent Teacher Conferences with parents in person as scheduled. Those teachers on quarantine will hold virtual conferences with parents that are interested on Wednesday, October 21st, and will hold In-Person Conferences with parents on Thursday, October 22nd when their quarantine period has concluded. I want to inform families of students who attend Staunton Junior High School that the students are at low risk of transmission due to our school mitigation strategies and procedures. It is important that you continue to monitor your child’s health and be aware of any COVID-19 symptoms that may appear in the future. At this time, all students and staff that have had close contact as defined by CDC guidelines have been contacted separately and informed that they are restricted from all district activities for the duration of the quarantine period. Students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5, and students in Grades 9 through 12 will continue with In-Person learning. These students’ educational environment and schedule will not be interrupted due to the closure of Staunton Junior High School. The school district encourages all community members to maintain safe social distances, wear masks in public when social distancing cannot be maintained and wash your hands so that we may all help our Junior High students and staff return to school safely on Monday, October 26th. If you have questions or concerns, please contact an administrator or myself by phone. Thank you and be safe! Cynthia Tolbert, Superintendent view image
