[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked my kid to tell me if a group of kids are ever absent from her class. Then we'll know there was a COVID case. Problem solved.[/quote]

This. Our school has been notifying classes all along but I have to laugh when people say “omg, we will never know unless we get emails.” Umm, kids are the nosiest, best reporters in the world. Every day, I get a report of exactly who was absent in each of my kids’ classrooms. When one of my kid’s had a positive in the class, I knew an hour before I got the call about it because the moment I picked my kid up, I got told that a group of “friends” got picked up early from school today. These were the close contacts. That was a Tuesday. I asked my kid, who did you say was absent yesterday? My kid told me “X” was absent yesterday and today. I assumed then and there it was X. When all the kids returned to class the following Monday, my kid excitedly told me how X told everyone she had Covid. It’s not at all a secret or some puzzle to decipher. And for those panicky folks, here is a fun tidbit - no one else in the class got Covid, not even my child who actually happens to be best friends with X and plays with X everyday, including the day X apparently took the Covid test (still no clue why my child wasn’t identified as a close contact but the experience just underscored how unnecessary these quarantines are)[/quote]
