Good Evening ConVal Community,
Today we were informed of 17 positive COVID-19 cases.
These cases were from individuals who became symptomatic after the end of the school day on November 23, 2021 and who have not been in school since that time.
Two cases were at Antrim Elementary School (AES), one at Francestown Elementary School (FES), one at Greenfield Elementary School (GES), one at Hancock Elementary School (HES), three at Peterborough Elementary School (PES), one at Pierce Elementary School, three at Great Brook School (GBS), three at South Meadow School (SMS) and two at ConVal High School (CVHS).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
Of the cases reported today, nine were directly connected to each other. Any individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Our school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan. To learn more about COVID-19, please visit these websites:
