CONFIRMED CASE:
9/22/20
Dear Parents/Guardians
We regret to inform you that a student or staff member at Pocola Schools has tested positive for Covid-19. This students, faculty and staff that were in close contact with this individual have been notified and mandated to quarantine at home for 14 days. At this time, we do not feel that your child was in close contact with the positive individual, however, we are working with the health department on “contact tracing” and will individually notify you if we find out otherwise. We are following CDC guidelines, protocols set by the State Department of Health and our school district, to decrease potential spread.
Should your child/children start exhibiting COVID related symptoms, it is strongly recommended that you contact their primary care physician or the local health department to have them tested immediately.
The mandatory quarantine dates for this incident are 09/21/20 until 10/02/2020. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our school office at 918/436/2042.
Sincerely,
Superintendent Jason Brittain
Pocola Public Schools
