Shared from the Ridgway Area School District - RASD COVID 19 UPDATE (01-04-2021): The District's core pandemic team met Wednesday (12/30) to review current co...unty and zip code data, to analyze trends, and to discuss the instructional models. CURRENT DATA: Unfortunately, Elk County is high in terms of COVID 19 spread and cases. In reviewing the data for Ridgway, the positivity rate is the highest it has been for our zip code. As of 1-3-2021 the positivity rate for Ridgway is 76.36%; 42/55 people tested are positive for the past 7 days. The incident rate is 664.77 per 100,000 people. The total new positives for the past 7 days is 42 cases. In addition, the hospitalizations are increasing. There is concern that the community will not see the post-holiday surge for two weeks. Our case counts will likely get worse, which puts staff and students at increased risk of exposure and congregate gatherings increase the potential for transmission. INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL IMPLEMENTATION DECISION: January 4-8 FULL REMOTE LEARNING/NO EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES January 11-15 FULL REMOTE LEARNING/NO EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES We recognize the academic, social and emotional stressors that our students are facing due to the totality of the circumstances of the pandemic. The District has a variety of supports and services available to students and families during these difficult times: school counseling resources, mental health resources, and academic support. Parents are encouraged to contact their child’s building principal or school counselor for additional information regarding these resources. Parents, please check your emails or district website for additional details at https://rasd.us/.../01/RASD-COVID-19-Update-01042021.pdf See more
