NuVu Families,

We’re notifying you that a pooled sample from the community COVID-19 test on Tuesday Nov. 30 returned a “presumptive positive” result. Three additional pooled samples taken on Tuesday 11/30 returned negative results. We are working with the specific group of students who were part of that sample to support remote studio participation until two additional PCR tests can turn negative results. 

We’ve done everything necessary to prepare ourselves for this scenario and are confident that our protocols around masking, testing and ventilation will enable us to limit exposure. We remain committed to getting everyone back on-site as safely and quickly as possible. 

Our students and staff are fully vaccinated, and have performed an additional pooled test on Wednesday, December 1. Both pools from this community sample taken on 12/1 returned negative results. 

On Wednesday 12/1, we gathered community feedback on students remaining on-site through Thursday and Friday of this week. More than 70% of families opted-in to being onsite for the rest of the week, so we’ll offer that onsite option. For families who wish for their student to attend remotely for any reason, we’ll open all Zoom classrooms and support students both onsite and virtually.

We sincerely appreciate this community’s commitment to keeping one another safe.
