Dear BEA Community:I want to give you an update on COVID cases. This week at the elementary schools, Mountaintop had 1 new case while Wingate, Port Matilda, and Howard had zero cases. The two week rolling average is two cases at Wingate, one case at Mountaintop, and zero cases at Port Matilda and Howard.
At the MS/HS, we had two new cases this week and the two week rolling average is four.
A reminder that if anyone in your household is sick and getting tested for COVID, please keep your child(ren) home pending the results of the test. Over the past several weeks, we have had a few students come to school when a household member was sick. The students came to school and ended up catching COVID. These situations have resulted in the quarantining of several staff and many students.
Currently with four cases at the MS/HS, we have 88 students quarantined. Many of these students will return to school next week.
I appreciate everyone who has worked with us to keep schools open during the year. Have a great weekend.
