As of this morning, we have experienced 67 cases of COVID within our student population of 1627 since the beginning of the interim session days on August 24th. As we begin the day on Friday, September 24th we currently have 19 active cases of COVID. The overall cases and current active cases from our three buildings are as follows.
Ellsworth Elementary: 26 cases (3 active cases) (712 students)
Ellsworth Middle School: 18 cases (10 active cases) (383 students)
Ellsworth Senior High School: 23 cases (6 active cases) (532 students)
We continue to contact all families in which a student has been defined as a close contact by being within 3 feet of a known case for longer than 15 minutes. We are not excluding these students from school, but we feel it is important to notify the families of these students.
I continue to strongly encourage all families to please keep their children home from school when ill. As a reminder, our long standing policies have stated that no child is to attend school within 24 hours of vomiting or a fever. It is essential that all families follow this guideline to assist us in keeping our schools open and our current plan in place.
Thank you,
Barry Cain
AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM SUPERINTENDENT CAIN
September 17, 2021
I have started the school year with the plan to currently provide families a weekly update on COVID cases within our student population to keep all families in the loop regarding trends we are seeing or any necessary changes in our operations. Last week was the first of these letters and I hope that this information is helpful to our families.
As of this morning, we have experienced 53 cases of COVID within our student population of 1627 since the beginning of the interim session days on August 24th. As we begin the day on Friday, September 17th we currently have 16 active cases of COVID (just under 1% of the overall student population). The overall cases and current active cases from our three buildings are as follows
Ellsworth Elementary: 25 cases (6 active cases) (712 students)
Ellsworth Middle School: 8 cases (3 active cases) (383 students)
Ellsworth Senior High School: 20 cases (7 active cases) (532 students)
As noted in discussion at our school board meeting this past week, our plan at this point is to continue with our current school board district approved plan which includes masks being optional. .As previously discussed, we are contacting all families in which a student has been defined as a close contact by being within 3 feet of a known case for longer than 15 minutes. We are not excluding these students from school, but we feel it is important to notify the families of these students.
I continue to strongly encourage all families to please keep their children home from school when ill.

Homecoming buttons are now on sale in the high school office and Friday at the home football game.
By purchasing a button, you are automatically entered into a drawing at half-time of the Homecoming game (must be present to win) or some great prizes - gift cards, Panther's Den merchandise & cash.
Homecoming is not an event that is funded by the school. That means if we want to keep the festivities alive and well in our school, we need the support of staff, students and community members to ensure we can have this event in our schools.
Buttons are $3.00 each (you can purchase as many as you would like).
Thank you for your support.
