NOTIFICATION OF CONFIRMED COVID-19 CASE ON CAMPUS
1/21/2021
Dear Parent/Guardian,
In keeping with Leggett ISD practices to respond to COVID-19, we are notifying all student families that a STUDENT
was exposed to someone off-campus that tested positive for COVID-19. Due to privacy requirements, we will not
be releasing the name of the individual or details that may identify him or her.
The local health department has begun a case investigation and will contact any individuals determined to be in
close contact with the infected individual. All students and staff that came into close contact will be directly
notified no later than 1/22/2021. Those that were in close contact will remain off campus for up to 7 with a
negative test and 10 days with no symptoms to ensure they do not have the virus, so that there will not be any
further spread. We will keep you apprised of further updates.
To give the local health department time to conduct this investigation and notify those who have potentially been
infected, as well as clean affected areas. We will keep you apprised of further updates.
While we do not have reason to believe that those who were not in close contact with the infected individual have
reason to be concerned, we ask that you, as always, to watch for symptoms of COVID-19.
Any of the following symptoms indicate a possible COVID-19 infection:
o Temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when taken by mouth;
o Sore throat;
o New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing (or, for students with a chronic
allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline);
o Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain; or
o New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever.
If you or any member of the Leggett ISD community does begin experiencing any of these symptoms in a way that
is not typical, we encourage you to contact your physician. We encourage anyone in the Leggett ISD community
who is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19 to please notify our school by contacting 936-398-2412.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Leggett ISD at 936-398-2412 or visit our website
at www.leggettisd.net or facebook leggettpirates.
Sincerely,
Jana Lowe
Superintendent
