[quote=Anonymous]All schools including SFS should err on the side of more transparency when it comes to communicating to the school community.  If not to the whole school community, Admin should write at least to the division although many families have kids in more than one division.  And the community should know if the positive case was from M-T grades 9-10 or from Th-F grades 11-12.  And if staff members were positive, were they food service contractors? Others? Was contact tracing done in all cases? The community deserves to have enough information so each family can make the right decision that they are comfortable with.

I am grateful that the family of the student who tested positive stepped forward and shared the information.  Some may not have disclosed it.  And for every symptomatic child who go tested between the monthly school tests, there may be others who are asymptomatic and don’t know they are positive.  In this context, and with positivity numbers surging in our region, testing once a month seems woefully inadequate now.  Seems like the school is operating out of a playbook that is at least a couple of months old and needs to be adaptive to the changing conditions.  That doesn’t mean closing hybrid, it means being proactive and communicative and testing more frequently.
