Due to the recent events at Alba Public School involving positive COVID cases, we will be holding off on doing our first Community Luncheon of the school year. We are canceling the Community Luncheon for October 1, 2021 and are hopeful that we will be able to resume this function on October 29, 2021.
In addition, we will be postponing our youth soccer games to be held on Saturday for at least one week while we continue to monitor the COVID issues in the building.
Alba Public School apologizes for any inconvenience this might cause, but we feel for the safety of all, these steps are necessary.
On Tuesday afternoon and into the evening Alba Public School reached out and contacted the parents of all students who had a close contact with our COVID infected students. A review of the Health Departments requirements on how to deal with the close contact was completed and parents selected the option which best fit the needs of their families. If you were not contacted the Health Department does not feel your child had a close contact according to the guidelines. Alba Public School will continue to work with the Health Department and monitor the situation and inform our public should new items arise.
Today, Tuesday, September 28, 2021 Alba Public School was notified by three different families that their children were in direct contact with individuals who had contracted COVID. The Health Department has indicated that tw0 the students are indeed infected with COVID.
The families in quarantine have students ranging from kindergarten through high school age.
We are currently working with the Health Department to determine the best course of action for our students. It is the desire of Alba Public School to do what is needed to offer the safest learning environment for our students. Once further details are available, we will pass them along to all of you.
On Friday, October 1, 2021 Alba Public School will be hosting our monthly Community Luncheon.
