Dear Medfield Families,
We have been informed that five students at Wheelock and six students at Dale Street have tested positive for COVID-19. Community and in-school close contacts have been identified and informed. We have implemented the "Test and Stay" protocols for any in-school close contacts. Also, we want to bring to your attention that over the past week, four of our COVID-19 positive students ride on Elementary Bus # 3 and four other COVID-19 positive students ride Elementary Bus #11. Through contact tracing it has been determined that some of these students have had contact outside of bus transportation, however, parents of students on Elementary Bus #3 and Elementary Bus #11 should watch for any symptoms and contact their school's nurse if they have any concerns. Although we have seen an increase in positive cases over the past 7 days, we continue to follow the health and safety protocols outlined in our Fall 2021 Opening Plan, as well as consult with state and local officials if issues or questions arise.
Sincerely,
Jeff Marsden
