K-12 Covid Exposure Notification

Blosser Lane Elementary has been alerted that on September 2, 2022, your child may have been exposed to an individual with COVID-19.  We consider the health and well-being of our community a priority and are providing this notification so that you are aware of the following recommendations:  

  • Your child may remain in school unless they develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19.  Being exposed to somebody with COVID-19 does not necessarily mean that your child will become infected.
  • Your child should wear a mask in indoor settings, especially for the next 10 days, to prevent spreading COVID-19 in case they become infected.  High-quality masks with good fit and filtration provide the best protection.
  •  Your child should get tested for COVID-19 on September 5th – 7th unless they had COVID-19 within the past 90 days.  You may get tested at your doctor’s office or by clicking here to find a testing site near you. Over-the-counter (at-home) tests may also be used and they are available in our office or throughout the school district.  If your child starts to feel sick or show symptoms, they should get tested right away even if they had COVID-19 before.
  • If your child develops symptoms of COVID-19 or tests positive for COVID-19, they should isolate at home and notify us right away at 707-459-3232.  When you notify us, we can take additional steps to keep our school community safe.
  •  Your child should stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations.  Vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself against severe disease.  Make an appointment to get vaccinated or contact your child’s healthcare provider.
  • Note that infections diagnosed in students and school staff are not necessarily the result of exposure at school, and when safety protocols are followed in schools, COVID-19 remains more likely to occur outside of school settings.  
    Thank you for reading this important information.  If you have questions and concerns, we can be reached at 707-459-3232
