Dear Parent/Guardian,
This week, we have had two (2) additional positive cases of COVID-19 within the Pope County School System. One of these cases is a staff member at the high school. The other case is a student at the high school. After contact tracing we have determined that both of these cases are isolated cases, and have resulted in no further quarantining of additional students or staff members. Our custodial staff had maintained their strict protocol of cleaning and disinfecting during this time. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school or my office at any time.
Have a great Thanksgiving holiday!
Sincerely,
Ryan Fritch
Superintendent
Pope County CUSD #1
