Press release from Concord-Carlisle Regional School District: August 29, 2021 Dear Families: I write with a few COVID updates and resources as we return to school tomorrow! COVID Cases We learned of two positive vaccinated adults this weekend at Thoreau and Ripley.  Both were at work last week and contact tracing completed.  We also learned of two positive Thoreau students.  We expected to have cases given the current state numbers and also expect our COVID protocols to be effective. COVID Websites We created a portion of the district webpage to host this year's COVID information.  It is found here:  https://www.concordps.org/covid-21-22/ COVID Resources The following resources will be posted to that website tomorrow: PCR Testing Sites Close Contact Flow Chart Symptomatic Flow Chart Asymptomatic Pooled Testing Update Pool testing will begin the week of September 7.  Please watch for the consent form this week.  Everyone will need to reregister.  We believe pool testing is an important mitigation factor to know what is happening in the schools.  Please participate. Symptom Screener This is a reminder to complete the screener before school tomorrow morning and to monitor for symptoms, even mild ones. I look forward to providing updates on other topics this year in addition to COVID!  It will be one thing we do, not everything we do!  Welcome back! Best, Laurie   This press release was produced by Concord-Carlisle Regional School District. The views expressed here are the author's own.
