Travel Reminder & COVID-19 November 29 Update: IHHS student positive

IH Logo

The Indian Hill School District was informed an Indian Hill High School (IHHS) Brave Virtual Academy student tested positive for COVID-19 and is in isolation. The District nurse and building leaders determined the positive student was in Close Contact with one Indian Hill Middle School student. That family has been notified that their student is required to quarantine. The District nurse and building leaders determined the positive student was not in Close Contact with any staff members. Close Contact is defined as someone who has been within 6 feet of an individual for more than 15 minutes.

Due to federal privacy laws, we are not permitted to provide the name of the individual.

Important PickUp Patrol Update Reminder
As we communicated with you during the break, we continue to use PickUp Patrol to monitor daily health checks for attendance to school. We will include a modified screening question beginning November 30 to reinforce the importance of our daily health check process. This modified question will be used to confirm the following statement: I certify my student has not traveled to any state listed on the Ohio Travel Advisory list or the CDC travel advisory list over the holiday break, or within the past 14 days. 

Again, this statement will appear in a question format within PickUp Patrol. Should any of the listed PickUp Patrol questions be answered in the affirmative, quarantine of 14 days is expected.

We look forward to welcoming all Braves back, safely.

Sincerely,

Kirk Koennecke
Superintendent
Indian Hill School District
