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. Click here for more information https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uxg7rMvi7TF3NQwB6vhPuobPF83t7ooz/view?usp=sharing

To have respect is to honour all of creation. Balance what you need with what you want and recognize how your own greed may be at the expense of Mother Earth. Do what you can to make a difference and lead by example.

Let's make this a December to Remember!!!
Nevaeh was chosen for October Student of the Month! Nevaeh’s teacher, Mrs. Skersick says, “Nevaeh has been an outstanding student. She comes to google meets prepared and ready to work. She is very patient and kind, always an outstanding friend. She sticks around after google meets just to talk to her friends and even the teacher. She makes sure all her assignments are turned in, in a timely manner. Nevaeh makes sure that when she needs help she will patiently wait and ask for it. I am so grateful to have Nevaeh as part of my class this year. Keep up the great work Nevaeh, and share all the kindness that you have to offer.”
Nevaeh is most thankful for her family because they are always there for her when she needs them. Nevaeh’s favorite part of school is spending time with friends. Her and her friends like to play games like hide and seek and tag. Nevaeh likes reading. Her favorites are the Owl Diary series. Her favorite food is noodle soup.
Nevaeh, you are such a hard worker and kind child! Keep working so hard!
Helpline days are available Mon-Thursday.
Dear Families, Students, and Staff,
We were notified by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) of a lab of a confirmed case of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in a member of the Waubun school community with no exposure in our school community. For privacy reasons, we cannot share details about the status of the individual. At this time, they have each been advised to stay home and away from other people (isolate).
We have worked with the MDH 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 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.
