Dear Families,

Recently, we learned that a student on campus has tested positive for COVID-19.  As members of the school community, we understand that this might raise concerns alongside a caring response.

At this time, we are conducting contact tracing (if they have been on campus during the infectious period) which includes but is not limited to: reviewing cohort logs, interviewing  staff, and checking cameras.

If contact tracing determines that your child is a close contact and needs to be quarantined, you will be personally contacted by school staff within 24-48 hours of the school being notified.

While it is our goal to keep students in school, please be vigilant in regards to watching for primary COVID symptoms. Primary symptoms include: fever of 100.4 or higher, cough, congestion, chills, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or loss of smell.

We will keep you updated with any new information as it comes out, while meeting the requirements to honor everyone’s right to privacy.

If you have any questions, please contact Olivia Johnson, Principal (ojohnson@fernridge.k12.or.us) or Eric Carman Assistant Principal (ecarman@fernridge.k12.or.us) or Nurse Elliott, our district nurse, at selliott@fernridge.k12.or.us. You can also call Ms. Johnson or Mr. Carman at 541-935-8230

Thank you,

Olivia Johnson
