MTMS: COVID CASE LETTER TO PARENTS

Dear MTMS Families,

This email is to inform you that two Mendham Township Middle School students have tested positive for COVID-19. Neither student has been at MTMS for the past 6 days. Additionally, based upon contact tracing guidelines, no one in our school community outside immediate family members is known to have been in close contact with these students. The school district is working cooperatively with public health officials and following all CDC, state, and local health department guidelines to ensure that all of our students and Township community remain healthy and safe - and that our school remains open. As there is no need for us to shift to distance learning, MTMS will remain in our current blue/gold cohort blended learning configuration. We thank you in advance for your consideration in protecting the privacy of any persons directly involved in this case.

Mendham Township Middle School continues to take great precautions to prevent the introduction and spreading of COVID-19 through meticulous cleaning and methodical daily sanitizing. Take comfort in knowing that we are monitoring this situation very closely and will immediately update you if necessary.

Special thanks and praise to all of our MTMS families and teachers who have been operating with great diligence to maximize the probability that all possible COVID-19 cases and or potential exposures are isolated and quickly contained. By continuing to act with an abundance of caution we will keep our community safe and our school open. If you have questions or concerns along the way, please do not hesitate to contact our school nurse, Mrs. Giarrusso, at egiarrusso@mendhamtwp.org.

Please continue to adhere to the following Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommendations:
-Stay home when you are sick;
-Wash hands often with soap for at least 20 seconds;
-Cover coughs and sneezes and properly disposing of tissues;
-Limit close contact with people who are sick and not sharing food, drinks and utensils;
-Practice social distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart);
-Wear a face covering while in school; and
