Parents/Guardians:  Per guidance from the Arkansas Department of Health, should someone, student or faculty, test positive for Covid-19 we will immediately begin the process of contact tracing.  Contact tracing involves determining if anyone at school qualifies as a “probable close contact”.  A probable close contact is anyone who has been within six feet for more that fifteen cumulative minutes in a twenty-four hour period of someone who has tested positive for the virus.  The school will contact the parent of any child who is determined to be a probable close contact.  We will also contact the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) and the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to acquire their guidance in best practices to stop the spread.  Please remember that in order to protect privacy of students and staff, we cannot share personal information regarding a positive case.  Therefore, we will not issue a public statement in every situation where someone has tested positive or been quarantined due to the virus.
