Please keep your child at home if they are experiencing fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste of smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea. ECPPS schools will continue to conduct daily health screenings of adults, require face coverings inside school and district facilities as well as buses at all times, follow social distancing protocols, and promote proper hand hygiene. We also continue to be vigilant in all safety protocols with regard to sanitizing and disinfecting facilities. ECPPS is committed to safety for our students, families, and staff.

Communication is so important for our families and we want to share as much information as possible to keep our families informed. We not only want to inform you of any potential risk, but also of the preventative measures in place to ensure safety for everyone. With regard to contact tracing through ARHS, ECPPS and ARHS will adhere to the following protocols: School nurses and local health department staff will work together to contact the case-patient and determine who the case-patient has been in close contact with during their period of infectivity. Only close contacts who had contact with the case-patient during the period of infectivity are notified. Contacts are notified of their exposure and appropriate quarantine information is provided. ECPPS is committed to providing a safe and positive educational environment for our students and staff. We appreciate your support as we work together to ensure safety for everyone.
