Covid Cases at SVDP

For the 2020-2021 school year, the total number of COVID-19 cases in the SVDP community who were in the SVDP building while infectious: 12

Updated 2/17/21

• As of 2/17/21- 2 active cases- specimen collection dates- 2/11/21

• Leadership will reconsider our current in-person learning model if the SVDP community has 5 or more confirmed cases of COVID-19 who were in the building while infectious during a two-week reporting period.

• Per MDH, a positive COVID-19 case is considered infectious 48 hours prior to symptom onset or test date, whichever occurred first. This may mean that the student/staff was in our building without symptoms but would still be on this list. 

• As of 2/17/21, SVDP has had 17 cases who weren’t in the building 48 hours prior to symptom onset/test date which MDH doesn’t consider a risk to our community. In an effort to be transparent, we wanted to inform the community. With these 17 cases, our COVID-19 total cases are 27.

Communication Process:
When a student, teacher, or staff in our school community has a positive COVID-19 case, the following communication to families will occur:

1. If your child is identified as a close contact (anyone within 6 feet of that individual for a cumulative 15 minutes or more) you will be notified by Mrs. Dawson or Nurse Maria.
   If school is currently in session, you will need to pick up your student as soon as possible.  

2. The parents in the affected classroom and or grade level will be emailed.
