Familia Santos, Escuelas públicas de St. James, específicamente niños en edad de primaria, está comenzando a ver un aumento en las pruebas positivas de COVID. A muchas de nuestras familias se les notifica que su hijo estuvo en contacto directo con una persona positiva. Los casos provienen de grupos de iglesias, actividades juveniles, guarderías y algunos se propagan en la escuela. También pasamos 10 días de Halloween, lo que se pusieron espuestos a enfermedades dentro del plazo. Debido a que no podemos identificar un punto de exposición, y estamos viendo muchos espuestos entre las actividades, el Distrito Escolar está pidiendo a los padres de Northside que consideren que sus hijos usen mascarillas durante las próximas dos semanas (10 días escolares) hasta las vacaciones de Acción de Gracias. Al tomar su decisión, recuerde que los niños que usan una mascarilla no se consideran un contacto directo si entran en contacto con una persona positiva que también usa una mascarilla. Además, a partir de hoy, muchas de nuestras estudiantes en las aulas estarán usando mascarillas debido al aumento. Como precaución secundaria, debido al aumento de casos en Northside, no vamos a permitir que Northside asista a la Asamblea del Día de los Veteranos. Quiero agradecerles de antemano por su consideración con las mascarillas durante los próximos 10 días escolares. Con orgullo Santos, Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendente

Saints Families, St. James Public Schools, specifically elementary aged children, is starting to see an uptick in positive COVID tests. Many of our families are being notified that their child was in close contact with a positive individual. The cases are coming from church groups, youth activities, daycare, and some spread in the school setting. We are also 10 days past Halloween, which puts exposure to illness within the time frame. Because we cannot pinpoint one exposure point, and we are seeing lots of overlap between activities, the School District is asking Northside parents to consider masking their children for the next two weeks (10 school days) up to the Thanksgiving break. In making your decision, please remember that children wearing a mask are not considered a close contact if they come into contact with a positive person who is also wearing a mask. Also, starting today, many of our classrooms will be in masks due to the uptick. As a secondary precaution, due to the uptick in cases at Northside, we are not going to have Northside attend the Veterans Day Assembly. I want to thank you in advance for your consideration to mask for the next 10 school days. In Saints pride, Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendent
