Important Update – COVID-19 Diagnosed in School – Please Read

Dear PBA Families,

It is our priority to keep you informed of incidents related to safety. We want to make you aware that a student or staff member has been diagnosed with COVID-19. We have notified those people who were in close contact to this individual.

Each case of COVID-19 is interviewed by Public Health. As part of this Public Health investigation:

• The person diagnosed is being kept home from school until they are no longer infectious.
• The person’s activities when they could have spread COVID-19 were assessed.
• The people who were close contacts of the person with COVID-19 are instructed to stay home from school for 10 days after the exposure. This is called quarantine.

If you have any concerns about your health, we encourage you to contact the Denver Health School Based Health Center at 303-602-8958 (or your primary care provider) for further evaluation and possible testing.

Sincerely,

Terez Woodward, RN CNS
