Notice from ChurchillCSD on COVID-19

Statement from the Churchill County School District on their protocols for the COVID-19  Thursday, March 12, 2020—5:00 p.m. To avoid confusion and misinformation, please continue to rely on the official information coming from Dr. Stephens through official district communication channels. If you know of any parents/families that are not receiving district communication through phone calls, emails, or texts, please ask them to contact the Superintendent’s office at 775-423-5184 to update their information. At this time, we have not been notified of any confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Churchill County.​ That can change at any moment, and the district will continue to communicate current school statuses. The Churchill County School District does have two staff members who are in doctor-directed quarantines that have NOT TESTED POSITIVE. Please continue to encourage all of your family members to wash their hands with soap and water and use sanitizer when water is not available. Also, continue to practice health hygiene by covering coughs and reminding others to do so. All staff are working diligently as a team to ensure we are frequently sanitizing all high-touch hard surfaces throughout the day. We will be making a change to Parent-Teacher Conferences next week. We are going to utilize phone-based parent conferences next week in place of in-person meetings. Please watch for school-specific plans for conferences through district communication channels. We appreciate your support and flexibility with this change. Staff and students with a sore throat with a persistent cough, a persistent cough, or fever over 100 degrees will be sent home and are required to stay home until symptoms have resolved. We will continue to monitor attendance and work with families. Should absences reach levels warranting additional meetings, the schools will work with families individually. Ongoing coordination among the state’s superintendents and other agencies may result in changes to afterschool and co-curricular activities, which may include games, practices, events, etc. ChurchillCSD district officials will continue to keep you updated on any changes that may occur. Thank you for your support of our district, our schools, our students, and our teachers and staff.       Never miss the local news — read more on The Fallon Post home page.
