Health Update from Mr. Largy – 10/08/2021

By on October 8, 2021 in Announcements

Dear Hooksett Memorial School Families,

I received notification today of a confirmed case of COVID-19 at the Hooksett Memorial School.  I have completed contact tracing following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Anyone who was identified as a close contact has been notified of the self-observation guidelines (PDF) via email and the positive person is now isolating.We are working closely with the New Hampshire (NH) Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to follow the guidance they have provided for this situation and will provide updates should their recommendations change.

As always, if your child is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, such as congestion – stuffy or runny nose, headache, fatigue, sore throat, cough, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, muscle aches, fever or chills, shortness of breath or change in taste or smell, please keep them home and contact me or Mrs Dupuis, our school nurse at sdupuis@sau15.net.

Symptomatic students or staff can be allowed to return to school when one of the following two conditions is met:

  • Person receives an FDA-approved COVID-19 test that is negative, AND the person’s symptoms are improving and they are fever-free for at least 24 hours off any fever-reducing medications.
  • Person has met CDC criteria for ending home isolation (i.e., if a person is not tested, they are managed assuming they have COVID-19).

The safety of our children and staff is our top priority. To ensure your health and safety, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting for our high-traffic areas and frequently touched surfaces.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 603-485-9890 or blargy@sau15.net.

Sincerely,

Brad Largy
Principal
