December to Remember
Ojibwe Word of the Day
Forrest was selected November Student of the Month. His teacher, Mrs. Stalberger says, “Forrest has a positive attitude that radiates everywhere he goes! I look forward to seeing his smile each day - in person or on screen! He is hardworking, kind, and incredibly patient. I can always count on him to encourage others and make the right decision. Forrest is an all around great kid!”
Forrest is most thankful for his family. He says they are nice and kind. He says they love him! His favorite part of school is going outside to play ‘spies’ with his friends. They solve mysteries on the playground! Forrest likes playing with his baby brother and making him laugh and smile. Forrest likes when his mom makes him tacos for supper.
Forrest you have the best smile and kindest heart! Thank you for being you!
General notification for families that a person in the school program community tested positive for COVID-19
Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Public School Wednesday, December 9, 2020
Dear Families,
We were notified by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) that a member of the Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Public School community has tested positive for COVID-19. No dates have been identified for potential school community spread. We cannot for privacy reasons share details about the person. At this time, they are staying home and/or working at home until they are well and can no longer spread the disease.
We have worked with MDH to identify those who were in close contact with the person who tested positive for COVID-19, and no close contacts have been identified in our school community.
If you have not been contacted, your child is not considered a close contact, and there is nothing special you need to do.
Because the spread of COVID-19 from unknown sources is widespread in Minnesota, you should continue to watch your child for COVID-19 symptoms, which include:
Fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher
New cough or a cough that gets worse
Difficulty/hard time breathing
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
New nasal congestion/stuffy or runny nose
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Muscle pain
Extreme fatigue/feeling very tired
New severe/very bad headache
Chills
If your child gets symptoms, they should stay home and you should talk with their doctor or other health care provider to decide if they need to see a doctor and/or to get tested for COVID-19. Please review the following resources:
Home Screening Tool for COVID-19 Symptoms (PDF) (https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/schools/homescreen.pdf)
COVID-19 Attendance Guide for Parents and Families (PDF) (https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/schools/attendance.pdf)
We understand that this news may make people feel uneasy. We have taken action to clean and sanitize the building and are working closely with MDH to watch the situation. We are asking all members of our community to lower the chance of spreading illness by taking the following actions:
Protect yourself and others by wearing a face covering.
Wash your hands often with soap and water.
Cover your coughs and sneezes; do not touch your face with unwashed hands.
If you are sick, stay home from school, child care, sports, and other activities.
Clean all commonly touched surfaces often, such as telephones, doorknobs, countertops, etc.
