Subject: Coronavirus Confirmed Case-Student
Dear Families/Students/Staff,
We were notified by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) of a lab confirmed case of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) with a student in the Brandon-Evansville high school with an exposure date of January 7,2021. We have 15 confirmed cases of staff members since the start of school and 15 students in the district.
We have worked with local health officials to identify those who had close contact with the cases, and have communicated with them individually. The student cases involved a student in the high school. The students who were identified with exposure are quarantined. Parents of students affected have been contacted and the appropriate course of action has been taken. The risk of exposure for other individuals present in the buildings on those dates is no greater than the risk of contracting the virus in the general community.
If you were not identified to have close contact with the positive case you should still monitor for symptoms of illness, but do not need to stay home unless symptoms develop. If symptoms develop, stay home and consult with your health care provider to determine if medical evaluation is needed.
We understand that this may create unease in our community.
We have taken action to clean and sanitize the facility and are working closely with MDH to monitor the situation. We are asking all members of our community to minimize the spread of illness by taking the following actions:
· Protect yourself and others by wearing a face covering when it is hard to stay 6 feet away from people; washing your hands often with soap and water; covering your cough and sneeze; and avoiding touching your face with unwashed hands.
· If you are sick, stay home from child care and other activities.
· Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home. Keep enough food, regular prescription drugs, and other necessities on hand in case you need to stay home and are not able to go out easily.
· Frequently clean all commonly touched surfaces (e.g., telephones, doorknobs, countertops, etc.).
If symptoms develop, stay home and consult with your health care provider to determine if medical evaluation is needed.
If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, MDH recommends:
1. Stay at home for at least 10 days, and for 24 hours with no fever and improvement of other symptoms (your fever should be gone for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medicine).
2. Use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website on
how to care for yourself at home; see What to Do If You Are Sick:
(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/steps-when-sick.html)
3. If your household contacts were exposed to you while you had
symptoms, they should try to stay home as much as possible for 14 days.
This is a challenging time and I know many of you may be feeling stress or anxiety. We will get through this together as a community, and will be stronger when we emerge.

Little Eight Conference Basketball Parent Information
In order to help parents know the expectations for their child’s basketball games this season, the activities directors from the Little Eight Conference have agreed to follow some of the same protocols at all of our games. Please remember that these protocols may not be the same at non conference games.
ABC Games
Each player will be allowed two fans for all home and away games.
Each player will identify who those fans will most often be, and their information will be on a check off sheet at each game. A different fan may come in their place, but will have to sign in with their information.
Fans will pay $5 each and are expected to have correct change at the gate.
If space is an issue in a given location, spectators may be asked to leave after their son or daughter have finished playing.
7-8 Games
Because of limited bleacher space in secondary gyms, We will only have home fans at JH games.
No admission will be charged for JH games.
REMINDER for any parents that have 7th-12th grade students in basketball: Parent meeting for boys and girls basketball tonight, 1/5! Boys meeting 5:30 in Evansville gym. Girls meeting 6:30 in
