Hello Riddle Seniors!!! Due to the recent outbreak of Covid, we will be moving Senior Night from June 3rd to one of these dates: 6/9, 6/10, or 6/11. We are awaiting DPHN to give a return date to school for those seniors affected by the quarantine is the reason for change.
Tonight's drama performance is being postponed. The rescheduled performance will be live-streamed on our High School Facebook page. When the new date has been set, we'll share that information with our Riddle families and community.
The following cohorts will be completing their school work tomorrow, Friday, May 28, via Comprehensive Distant Learning (Edgenuity): 11th grade, 9th grade, and 7B. We'll provide an update tomorrow with more information.
Recently, we were notified that a person in Riddle Jr./Sr. High School has been diagnosed with COVID-19. As members of the school community, we understand that this might raise concerns alongside a caring response. We are working closely with DPHN and our district nurse to respond to this news and protect the health of our community by temporarily closing the 9th grade and 7B cohorts.
Each situation calls for different protocols. In this case, we are following these steps:
1. Stay in contact with DPHN and our district nurse.
2. Call parents and quarantine students in the 9th grade and 7B cohorts for those students attending from May 24th to May 26th.
3. Notify staff.
4. Cleaning and disinfecting of the exposed locations have been completed.
5. As the Coronavirus situation in our country is developing, we urge you to take necessary precautions to limit Coronavirus spread.
6. All individuals who need to quarantine have been notified.
As soon as we know more from DPHN, we will make a further announcement and notify those students who have been quarantined and their parents.
Sincerely,
William Starkweather
Principal
