Parents / Guardians and Community,
On Friday afternoon, I was alerted that a Westmont Hilltop Elementary School student tested positive for COVID-19. As instructed by the PA Department of Health, the school district has identified students and adults that are at risk of exposure, communicated required quarantines, and encouraged the individuals to communicate with their healthcare professional. The Department of Health will also follow up with impacted individuals. Please understand we want to communicate relevant information to our community while respecting the privacy of employees, families, and students. Based on the instructions of the Department of Health, there is no need to close classrooms, grade levels, or the entire school. We will keep you informed if the circumstance changes. All parents are encouraged to continue monitoring their child(ren) for the symptoms of COVID-19 and communicate any concerns with your healthcare professional and school nurse.
