NEW: COVID CORNER
Each week I will be giving an update here in the COVID corner. I will also provide mid-week updates if needed to keep everyone up to date on the situation with COVID at our school.

First off, I want to say- we are so proud of our students and staff and their 100% compliance with mask wearing! We are so pleased that masks have become part of the routine for us at APA. In addition, sanitizing of surfaces as well as disinfectant fogging in the building is going well! If there is a case of COVID19 identified, our amazing OPS team thoroughly cleans any area that could possibly be contaminated. This weekend they will be fogging the entire building, including our return air ducts.

Here is where our case report as of 9/28:

-We have 9 current confirmed cases at D1 and all of those individuals are in isolation at home. The breakdown of positive cases is: 3 teachers, 1 instructor, 3 other staff members, and 2 students. All of these cases are scheduled to complete their isolation at some point next week (2 on Monday, 1 on Tuesday, 4 on Thursday, 2 on Friday) and if they are well, they will return to school.

-We have 5 members of staff at home waiting for results to testing.
-We have 13 students quarantined at home due to exposure. This means they are not sick, but were with someone who tested positive and so they quarantine for 14 days.

We are so grateful to be able to keep our school open and continue to serve our students and families! It is challenging and we send our best thoughts to those staff and students who are
sick. We wish them a very speedy recovery! As you can imagine, with so many teachers absent, it becomes challenging to run our leveled groups. But we have plan that will ensure that our students are able to learn in their leveled intensive reading and math groups, even when a teacher or instructor is home sick. We will likely implement it next week and try it out!

Remember - if your child is exposed to someone who tests positive, or if someone in your family tests positive, please notify us at the school as soon as possible via email to mmulcahy@apamail.org
