Rolling Meadows Families,
Just want to remind families- Students will be dismissed from daily attendance starting Monday, March 16th, 2020. Plans are for students to return Monday, March 30th. A school dismissal is defined as students do not report to school, but facilities remain open and staff report to work as normal. School will continue for students, but on a digital and distance platform.
Grab and Go
lunches will be provided for ALL students. These WILL be available on Monday,
March 16 through Wednesday, March 18th, and after Spring Break. Students will
NOT be able to eat their meals on campus. Families may pick up Breakfast Grab
and Go sacks at 9:00 a.m. and lunches starting at 11:30.
Our Mobile Food will make its scheduled delivery on Monday, March 16th. The pantry will provide non-perishable foods that families may pick up at 3:30.
Spring Break dates for our District are still applicable (Thursday, March 19th – Student Non-attendance day. Friday, March 20th-Monday, March 23rd – Spring Break). Meals WILL NOT be provided during the break.
I want to keep everyone up to date with current information about the effects of COVID-19. Below is a copy of the information sent to Hunter High Families. Please check the Granite District Website for current up to date information. www.graniteschools.org
Thanks,
Connie McCann
Dear Hunter High Families,
We want to provide you with up to date and accurate information in relation to the questions we are hearing. The most common question is why are the families of students and staff NOT required to also quarantine? The following text below is directly from the Health Department in response to that question.
“Because students and staff at Hunter High School are only probable contacts to a confirmed case (since it is difficult to know exactly who has had significant contact, and to what degree, in a communal setting like a high school), the current instruction to quarantine for a full infectious period does not extend to family members of probable contacts.
Your family is, of course, welcome to exercise extra caution beyond Salt Lake County Health Department’s defined quarantine parameters.”
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
Can someone spread the virus without being sick? While the risk of transmission is very low for individuals who are not demonstrating symptoms, it is possible. Additionally, second hand transmission is also considered very low risk. Please see CDC information on this topic here— https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html or call the COVID-19 Hotline at 1-800-456-7707.
We encourage families to take guidance from the Health Department sent last evening very seriously to help curb the further spread of disease.
Thank you for your great support.
