Covid-19 Update 8/27/2021

Kane Area School District families,

We were notified today, Friday, August 27, 2021 that 2 students in the district tested positive for COVID-19. One at the elementary level and one at the High School.

Through our contact tracing protocol, we have identified and notified all families whose student have been in close contact with those students who tested positive.

If you have not been directly contacted by school district, your child has not been identified as a close contact. School will resume on Monday for all other students and staff.

The primary symptoms of COVID-19 include shortness of breath, coughing, and fever and chills. Other symptoms include congestion, sore throat, diarrhea, abdominal pain, body aches, and loss of taste or smell. Anyone who needs medical care should call their healthcare provider to report an illness or exposure to someone with COVID-19 prior to seeking care. Please contact your school’s school office if they begin to experience symptoms.

The health, safety, and well-being of our school community remains our top priority. We are following sound protocols aligned with expert health guidance to ensure we are doing everything we can to protect students’ health. We also want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of wearing masks if you choose to do so, staying six feet apart from others, and regularly washing your hands.

We are closely monitoring this situation and will provide you with updates if any further steps are necessary. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 814-837-9570.
