Superintendent’s Update ~ New Positive Covid Case at Davis School ~ March 8, 2021

March  8, 2021

  • One (1) new COVID-19 positive case at Davis School (DS case #18).
  • There is currently one (1) active COVID-19 positive case in the Davis School Community at this time.
  • Close contacts were identified and instructed to quarantine.
  • This case does not appear to be connected or related to previous cases identified in school.

Today I was informed of one (1) new case of COVID-19 within the Davis School Community. This case is in isolation at home.  Davis School Case #18 was present in school during the infectious period and close contacts have been identified and instructed to quarantine.  Information on close contact identification, contacting tracing, and where and when to get tested, can be found in our FAQ.

We remind parents/guardians/caregivers that it is imperative that all Bedford Public School students be evaluated for symptoms of COVID-19 each day before sending them off to school. Teachers and school staff are required to do the same self-evaluation for symptoms. These measures, taken in combination, greatly reduce the risk of transmission.

We will continue to be vigilant in adhering to all of the protocols that have been put in place in an effort to continue in-person learning via our current hybrid model.  We are also providing remote learning for all students required to quarantine at home to continue to provide instruction, structure, and an emotional connection to the classroom during a time that we know will be challenging for those children and families involved.

We are committed to continuous communication with and support of our families. If there is additional transmission as a result of this case or a separate case, the Bedford Health Department Staff and School Nurses will immediately begin a case investigation to determine close contacts of any cases and conduct appropriate notifications to any impacted school community members so as to initiate proper quarantine. Thank you for your continued support.

Wishing you continued health.
