Dear Members of the Prudence Crandall School Community,

On March 26, 2021, we were was notified that several students at Crandall have been exposed to a person who  tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) at the Distance Learning Center (DLC). The last day this person was at the DLC was Wednesday, March 24, 2021. People who are direct contacts (within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more in a 24 hour period) need to quarantine according to the CDC guidelines.  We have contacted every family involved at Crandall and they are all planning to quarantine their child.  A special "Thank you" to all these families who dropped what they were doing to pick up their child(ren) quickly!

While we are getting closer to the end of tunnel for Covid we are not there yet!  Please remain diligent (especially during Spring Break and Easter Weekend) so we can keep everyone in our community safe and keep our kids in school!  Here are some reminders:

COVID-19 is spread mainly via person-to-person contact through contaminated air droplets from coughing and sneezing by an infected person. As with controlling the spread of other viruses, we urge everyone to discuss the following preventive measures with your children and family members: 

• Wash your hands frequently, but especially after using the restroom and before preparing or consuming food. Using soap and hot water, wash for about 20 seconds. Be sure to also wash your fingertips. When soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer.
• Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue; then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze inside the elbow of your arm.
• As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
• Wear a face covering (mask) whenever there is a likelihood that you or your family members will be in the presence of others.
• Maintain social distancing (at least 6 feet) between yourself and others when outside of your home.

Below is the list of COVID-19 symptoms for which everyone should monitor in their family members:

• Fever (100.4° Fahrenheit or higher)
• Chills or shaking chills
• Uncontrolled new cough (not due to other known cause, such as chronic cough)
• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• New loss of taste or smell

For additional information on COVID-19 symptoms, please see:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html

Staff and students exhibiting any of the above symptoms or feeling ill should remain home, call their medical provider to report their symptoms, and ask about testing prior to seeking in-person care at a clinic, physician’s office, or hospital.

For more information on what to do if you or a family member has possible symptoms, a diagnosis, or exposure to COVID-19, please see Addendum 5: Interim Guidance for Responding to COVID-19 Scenarios in Connecticut School Districts, which is available here:

https://portal.ct.gov/SDE/COVID19/COVID-19-Resources-for-Families-and-Educators/Addendums-and-FAQs

We are closely monitoring this situation and working with The North Central District Health Department. We will provide you with updates as we know more. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or our amazing school nurse, Renata Fenoff at 860-253-6463.

Thank you - and stay well, 

Russell Sills, Principal
