Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed today of four positive cases of COVID-19. Three were at Great Brook Middle School (GBS), and one was at ConVal High School (CVHS). As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our very thorough 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).
Out of the four cases reported today, only one case involved close contact. The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the staff and students at GBS and CVHS continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.
