A letter from the Superintendent

August 10, 2021

Dear Parent/Guardian:

During the 2021-2022 school year, Pendleton School District will follow the CDC guidelines directed by Umatilla County Health Department for those who test positive for COVID-19 or are identified as a contact.

In order to ensure everyone is safe and healthy, please follow these guidelines as we open schools this fall.

Please DO NOT SEND AN ILL STUDENT TO SCHOOL.  The next page of this letter gives examples of when your student should not be in school.

If your student is ill, please CONTACT your child’s school directly.  (See below.)

Please contact your health care provider about any SERIOUS ILLNESS or if you are worried about your student’s health.  If you need help finding a health care provider, you may contact Umatilla County Health Department.

Please notify the school if your child is diagnosed with a CONTAGIOUS DISEASE, including the following: chickenpox, COVID-19, diphtheria, E. coli diarrhea, hepatitis, measles, mumps, pertussis, rubella, Salmonella, scabies, shigellosis, tuberculosis, or another disease as requested.  The school will protect your private information as required by law. [OAR 333-019-0010; ORS 433.008.]

Please notify the school if your student requires MEDICATIONS during school hours.  Follow school protocols for medication at school.  If your student’s illness requires antibiotics, the student must have been on antibiotics for at least 24 hours before returning to school, and longer in some cases.  Antibiotics are not effective for viral illnesses.

Please notify the school if your student has a CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITION.  We will work with you to address the health condition so that the student can learn.  With consent, the school nurse may consult with the student’s health care provider about the health condition and necessary treatments.

We want to support your student.  Please contact your child’s school if you have any questions or concerns.

Respectfully,
Chris Fritsch
Superintendent
