Officials with West Plains Elementary School emailed all parents Tuesday afternoon to inform them of positive COVID-19 tests. As a result, an entire first-grade classroom has been quarantined.
Below is a copy of the email, which was sent out at 4:05 p.m. Tuesday:
Dear Zizzer Families,
In an effort to become more transparent and to also avoid the many rumors that can spread, the district is notifying our parents, students, and community that a West Plains Elementary first grade class is under quarantine after classmates tested positive for COVID-19. All students in this class were contacted.
The safety of our students and staff will continue to be our highest priority. The district is continuing to monitor the situation and will provide information as needed. If you have additional questions, please contact the Howell County Health Department at 256-7078.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lori Wilson
Superintendent of Schools
West Plains School District
