Dear Members of the Crandall School Community,

On September 29th, we were notified that a member of our Crandall school community has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19). The affected person has been instructed to remain home in self-isolation for 10 days and has been provided with additional instructions to follow prior to returning to school. Family members have also been instructed to self-quarantine and get tested.  The last day this person was in Crandall School was Tuesday, September 28th. Anyone who is considered a “close contact” with this person has been contacted by school officials and provided with instructions on the appropriate steps to take.

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:

• 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 between yourself and others when outside of your home.
• 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.

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:

Thank you - and stay well,

Russell Sills, Principal
