Jan. 14, 2021 Covid-19 Release

Sunburst Public Schools was notified today that another high school student has tested positive for Covid-19.  Contact tracing has been done by the Toole County Health Department with no additional students needing to quarantine.  The high school and junior high will not have in-person learning on Friday, January 15 so the school can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.  We also will not have remote instruction for those students.  At this time, school will resume for 7-12 students after the MLK holiday on Tuesday, January 19.

No students in the K-6 elementary cohort groups are affected so regular in-person school will continue for those students.

A high school staff member tested positive for Covid-19 on the morning of January 12.  The staff member has not been in close contact with students or staff so no additional students or staff will be quarantined.

High school semester tests will go on as scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday, January 13 and 14.  For any students under quarantine, semester tests will be taken upon your return to school.

Second quarter grades and semester grades for junior high and high school students are expected to come out on or about January 27 to accommodate our students.

Quarantined students are expected to log into their Google Classrooms and follow along with assignments or Google Meets as instructed by their teacher.

Sunburst Public Schools was alerted on the evening of January 11, 2021, that a student that attends North Toole County School has tested positive for Covid-19.  Contact tracing is being done by the Toole County Health Department.  Only those students contacted by the health department need to quarantine.  The elementary cohort groups and the junior high cohort group are not effected and will resume school as normal.  High school students that are not contacted will have school as normal.  The status of athletic events is uncertain at this time as more information becomes available to us.
