Pinon Unified Community, On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 4, Pinon Elementary was notified of a student that tested positive for COVID-19. The student was screened upon entering the school. The student was taken by a guardian to Pinon Clinic and received a rapid COVID-19 test. The test result was positive. Contact tracing was conducted by the PES staff and all students and staff that are considered a “contact” or “exposure” were notified to be monitored and tested. The classroom and other areas of potential contact were thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Confidential or identifying student information cannot be shared but everyone involved as a possible exposure has been identified and notified by the PES staff and IHS will also conduct contact tracing and notifications as necessary. The three schools in PUSD have protocols in place for students that become ill during the school day that include isolation, parental notification and contact tracing. We ask your assistance to ensure that your students DO NOT come to school if they have any signs or symptoms of illness, or may have had a possible exposure to COVID-19. If students are identified that have symptoms of illness during the school day a parent will be contacted to pick them up and we will not allow them back on campus until they have a medical clearance. Update on PHS positive student case from Friday, July 30: All students identified as a contact were tested for COVID-19 and the test results were NEGATIVE. The safety and mitigation measures at the schools do work to prevent the spread of illness and do keep students safe. We need everyone in the PUSD community to do their part to keep students safe at school. Please consider vaccination if you are eligible and have not received it. Please continue to wear your mask in public places and practice social distancing and other safety measures, especially when traveling off of the Navajo Nation.
