The Washoe County School District received word today of a suspected positive case of COVID-19 at Grace Warner Elementary School.

Out of an abundance of caution and due to possible exposure, eight individuals have been asked by WCSD Student Health Services to self-isolate at home per Washoe County Health District and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) protocol. All other staff members at Grace Warner have been informed of the situation. WCSD is following appropriate procedures as required by the Washoe County Health District and has been in close contact with the Washoe County Health District throughout this process.

The school was appropriately cleaned and is ready to welcome students to the building Monday morning.

As a reminder to the community, in response to suspected COVID-19 cases, the Washoe County School District will be taking proactive action and excluding some employees and students from the building before a confirmation of a positive case is provided.
 
Grace Warner followed the previously established protocol, which worked seamlessly and effectively.  WCSD is excited and eager to see our students on Monday.
