Dear South Seneca Community:
Today is the third school day in a row with new COVID-19 cases to report, and we recognize that seeing a daily public notice with new individuals testing positive is a concern. We share the concern. With about 850 people reporting to our buildings each day, we are seeing firsthand how aggressive and contagious the current strain of virus is as it spreads. We are monitoring each of the active cases as we hope symptoms remain mild for those affected.
At the same time, we can see that new provisions in the contact tracing process are allowing most in-school individuals to avoid being quarantined. Only when two or more cases present in the same group (like recently on our football team and in one elementary classroom) are full groups being quarantined. If we pay strong attention to our safety measures, catch cases at the outset, and isolate close contacts of the positive case, we still have every reason to believe we can keep buildings and programs up and running.
This afternoon, we received confirmation of two staff members in our Middle-High School who had tested positive, and in each of those cases, staying home at the outset of symptoms made the difference in preventing quarantine for others. As we’ve communicated several times now, it’s more important than ever to take even mild symptoms seriously and to stay home until they resolve or until you get a negative COVID test. We are relying on the community’s efforts here to continue to be open for school every day of the 2021-22 year. Thank you!
It's never too early... Reserve your yearbook today! 📓
