Dear Parents/Guardians, 

Aurora R-VIII personnel received information that a Junior High School teacher tested positive for COVID-19.  The teacher works in an area where students are able to effectively social distance and this strategy has been implemented on a daily basis.  The teacher has worn a mask since the start of school and any interactions have been with guidelines in mind.  The teacher is involved with extracurricular activities; however, the same precautions have been taken to minimize any negative contact with students/staff in the program.  Consultation with the Lawrence County Health Department is ongoing to implement the process for contact tracing and for any additional guidance needed regarding the situation.  

 Sincerely, 

 Billy Redus
