We have been consulting with Wab Co Health Dept about the number of positive COVID cases at MHE and WJH that have now affected every grade level at those two schools. In an attempt to break this COVID transmission cycle MHE (PK-5) and WJH (6-8) schools will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, Dec 9th and Friday, Dec 10th. This short term quarantine is within the 3-4 day window of lessening symptoms. On Monday, Dec 13th all students who need to be will be tested to return to school.
If parents chose to "opt out" their students would quarantine, returning after Christmas break.
Presently, we have a 20% district wide absentee rate. Our plan would be to clean and disinfect both those buildings on Thursday and Friday. We apologize for the inconveniences this puts on parents & families.
