COVID immunization clinics
B-E High School students were given the opportunity to explore manufacturing, transportation and construction careers at Alexandria Technical & Community College. During this tour, they were able to visit with instructors and students and learn more about the programs offered within those divisions which include; Carpentry, Diesel Mechanics, Machine Tool Technology, Marine, Motorcycle, and Powersports Technician, Mechanical Drafting, Design, and Engineering, Mechatronics, Professional Truck Driver and Welding Technology.
B-E third graders had some special visitors today. Douglas County's very own Deputy Bob Peper and K9 Ozzy came in to answer all of our questions about what it's really like to work on a K9 team. This is in line with an informational text about K9 officers that third graders have been working on in Reading class over the last couple of weeks called "Aero and Officer Mike." This presentation was extra special because it was K9 Ozzy's last school demonstration. K9 Ozzy will soon be retiring and a new K9, Cain, is in training to take his place on the Douglas County team with Deputy Peper. Thank you for sharing your time and information with us Deputy Peper and K9 Ozzy!

The Brandon-Evansville Early Ed department in collaboration with Douglas County Early Childhood Initiative and Thrivent will be holding a 50th birthday celebration of Week of the Young Child. The Drive/Walk Thru Event will be held on Thursday, April 22nd from 4:30-6:30 behind the Brandon School by the Early Ed room and playgrounds. Please pull in and line up on the one way street, 4th Street West in Brandon.
If you have a new born-5 yr old child you probably have been to a drive thru birthday party. We are inviting our BE district families to drive/walk thru either with or without your child(ren) to pick up a gift bag. Yes, we know this is backwards, as you are getting the gift - but how fun! What is in the bag? It is a birthday secret. Yet here is a clue. The children from Jill Mogenson’s Child Care (shown in picture) will also be playing and learning with some of the secret items that can be found in the"Talk, Read, Sing" birthday party bag.
In addition, door prizes from local businesses will also be drawn at random times throughout the event.
We hope everyone can make it to our party!!
(If weather should cancel the event, please check The Record and BE Facebook page for a rescheduled date of this event.)

Subject: Coronavirus Confirmed Case-Elementary 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 Evansville Elementary building. This case had an exposure date of April 6, 2021. We have 18 confirmed cases of a staff members since the start of school and 19 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. We have contact traced and notified people/students at risk of exposure. Students in close contact have been identified and quarantined. The risk of exposure for other individuals present in the buildings on that date 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.
