[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]John Hayden Johnson MS is having to quarantine its entire 6th grade class due to a positive case last week. Apparently all kids in the grade are considered close contacts: https://dcist.com/story/21/09/08/coronavirus-sixth-grade-class-quarantine-johnson-middle-school/

I'd be interested to know more about Covid protocols at the school because I'd like to know how all 129 6th graders got exposed (please note only 1 child tested positive -- so far no additional positives at the school so we don't know if there is any Covid spread at the school yet).

Did they eat lunch together? Or is it due to switching classes and teachers and being unable to cohort the class?

I hope no one else gets sick and that the original positive case recovers well. This must be hard on the teachers (who also have to quarantine and will be teaching remotely) and on the families. My heart goes out to them.[/quote]

not sure why DCist assumes the positive is a student. Much more likely it’s a teacher or staff member in a position to be in contact with all the classes. [/quote]

It was not a student. It was a special education support teacher who pushes into all of the classes to provide services to SN kids.[/quote]

I wonder if that teacher was vaccinated…[/quote]

There’s no justification for quarantining the entire grade! Unless they were like actively ill and coughing everywhere and refused to mask. [/quote]
