Confirmation received that a second student has been reported as positive to COVID-19. Contact tracing has been conducted and those families will receive personal notification. This brings the total South Harrison count to 2 staff and 2 students. It is important to note that these cases are not connected via school relationships. Thank you.
Follow up: The school at which the student attends is CCJHS and the families of students identified as close contacts during contact tracing are being notified this evening.
Have the parents of the children who have been in contact been notified or will they be notified?
Why are you not releasing which schools are affected?
Wish I knew what schools were affected(where the staff and students go) my daughter is in high risk category for covid due to her medical issues.
A friend of mine was contacted to quarantine he son because of a positive case. He goes to Corydon junior high.

The school at which the student attends is CCJHS. Families are being contacted if their child was identified as a close contact during the contact tracing procedure.

Prayers that they are all doing well!
Did this student ride a bus?
My gosh people....it says Corydon Jr High!!!!
South Harrison Community School Corporation thank you for the quick update.
Does anyone knoW how long we have to pull our child if we decide to do virtual instead of in person? And where I can find a tutor to come to my home
If a student is identified as positive, are their siblings also being required to stay home?

Hopefully they recover quickly and no one else gets it.
“These are not cases connected with school relationships”. Does this mean these students and staff were never physically in the school? Just a little confused.
Who would we contact for more info about this?

Update - August 10, 2020
Good evening from South Harrison Schools. This is an update to inform you that currently there are 2 staff members and 1 student who have tested positive for COVID-19. These individuals have not been in school; therefore, no exposure to our school community has occurred. Please remember to self-screen each day before coming to school as there are still several students each day being sent home with symptoms. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

Thank you for keeping us informed. Appreciate the district's hard work to keep everyone safe while still ensuring children can have in person schooling.
Ugh
Thank you
Thank you for being honest with everyone!! It is appreciated!
Thank you to all of our teachers and school staff for in person school and the options for those that wish to remote learn. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Preschool programs for South Harrison students will begin next week. There is still time to register!
Thank you for being patient and assisting us with the re-opening of school. Day 2 has concluded. Here is what we know...
🚌🚗Traffic seems to have improved considerably!
😷😷 We are seeing lots of mask-wearing - thank you!
🍓🍽 Students are receiving healthy breakfasts and lunches!
☀️⚽️ The weather has been amazing for recess!
📕💻 And we are eager to learn!
All, in all...another great day.
We are still finding the need to send students home (along with siblings) as they demonstrate COVID-19 symptoms. Please be considerate of our staff members as they make these calls and share the news. They are simply trying to protect the wellbeing of many others.
Dr. Kristina Box, Commissioner for the Indiana Department of Health shared information pertaining to back-to-school concerns during Governor Holcomb's update from earlier today. Many of these concerns are shared often with school officials like, "When will schools be ordered to close?" The link to the full release is here: bit.ly/3fwo4Fz.
Dr. Box's comments can be found from approximately 3 minutes through 11 minutes of the video.
Dr. Box made reference to parent resources. The referenced link is here:https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/2400.htm. Go to the website, select Back-to-School Resources, and then you will see multiple parent resources that may be useful for you.
In summary, remember, immediate reporting when suspected infection, staying home as advised, wearing masks when in public, social distancing, and proper handwashing are critical tools to help us keep our schools in session. Welcome back!
Thanks for info,be safe kiddos &teachers,&custodial&lunch workers
District is doing a great job!
What an amazing first day of school it has been! Thank you to all for your patience and support. Overall reports were very positive and students were happy to be back in school! Of course, it's the first day - traffic was slow, procedures were being taught and introductions were being made. Hopefully, you will join in soon if you missed out on the first day!
Please remember that when students demonstrate symptoms and there is no documentation on file of recurring issues such as migraine headaches, then the student will be sent home. At this time and until advised differently, when a child is sent home for symptoms, then all students residing in the home are also sent home.
We are also monitoring the well-being of our staff members very closely. We do have a few staff members that are absent for a few more days due to various quarantine scenarios along with one staff member who is recovering from the virus (this employee is nearing the end of the isolation period and has not been in any form of contact with students).
South Harrison wishes all of you well. Day 2 - only a few hours away. Hoping for a good night's rest for all.
Could you please send out a message to all parents that they may need this documentation on file through phone call/text. For allergies/clearing of throat/cough for asthma/ headaches/ girl periods/ and any other issues that may cause kids to be sent home. Some parents may not know this is needed! Please and Thank you. And we need updated ones each year?
Thank you for making sure the kids had a great first day. The staff and teachers are amazing!
