Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Schools

Dear Families, Students, and Staff, We were notified by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) of a lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in a member of the Waubun school community with exposure dates of 11/10/20 and 11/11/20 in our school community. For privacy reasons, we cannot share details about the status of the person. At this time, they have been advised to stay home and away from other people (isolate). We have worked with the MDH and White Earth Health to identify those who had close contact with the case, and have communicated with them individually. The risk of exposure for other individuals present in the building on that date is no greater than the risk of contracting the virus in the general community. If you were not identified to have close contact with the positive case you should still monitor for symptoms of illness, but do not need to stay home unless symptoms develop. If symptoms develop, stay home, and consult with your physician to determine if a medical evaluation is needed. We are working closely with MDH to monitor the situation. If you have questions, contact Carolyn Cossette, School Nurse, or Lisa Weber, Superintendent at 218-473-6171. Thank you for helping to keep our school community safe.
