Uptick in cases at your school?

[Anonymous]

To my knowledge, we've had three cases all year, and they were towards the beginning of the year.

No student cases at all at Bruce Monroe this fall.

Our kid's class/grade at Murch hasn't had cases since like the second week of school.

Only the elementary upper grades, not my child’s K classroom.

Haven’t had a case in maybe five or six weeks, they aren’t quarantining whole classes either at my kid’s DCPS.

Asymptomatic testing positivity rate is down to .1 or .2% from .5-1% earlier in the year. This is tracking overall drop in cases across the city as well. Data so far suggests that there is not a lot of person to person transmission happening in school which is wonderful. So school rates tend to track larger community rates.

That’s awesome. Do you have a link to that data? I’m not questioning you, just genuinely curious because I’d like to track the asymptotic positive rates too.

There was a jump among people I know last week.

OK, now we need to panic.

Our charter does a lot of asymptomatic testing and after a calm fall did have a big jump last and this week. Along with conservative testing, conservative quarantine so many classes home this coming week.

Name the charter. Was it Halloween? Why are they quarantining full classes?

I won't name the school, mostly because I don't like how you asked.

How would we know if it was Halloween? We can guess but there is no way for parents to know how non-identified kids got Covid.

Why? Because that is their policy. Kids move around the rooms during the day and they can't really determine who is a close contact and lunch is done by classroom.

DCPS doesn't quaranting whole classrooms. As long as the kids are wearing masks it doesn't count as a close contact. During lunch I think it would just be 3 ft.
