QTS Covid UPDATE: Sunday, October 10, 2021
QTS Covid UPDATE: Sunday, October 10, 2021
October 7th (late evening) and October 8th (late evening), two parents from two different families (not related) with two students in one family and one student in another family, both in one grade level reported their children had tested positive for Covid using home test kits and are showing symptoms. We have a total of three (3) students in a grade level with Covid 19 as of October 8th. All three of these families reside in the Forks area.
Dr. Allison Berry has been assisting me this weekend with advice on how to proceed. Michael Foster is included in communications. Dr. Berry reports the local school, as a result of having three students test positive in a grade level, must either require testing of all the students in the grade level OR close down the grade level.
QTS has chosen to have all the students in the grade level tested and remain open in that grade level.
Furthermore, QTS is monitoring one adult and five total students in the population for Covid 19.

Covid UPDATE for October 7, 2021
- QTS is monitoring two (2) cases of Covid in the adult population. Both cases are breakthrough meaning the adults were vaccinated.
- QTS is monitoring ten (10) cases of possible exposure in the adult and student population.
- QTS continues to see no spread of the virus at school. It typically is poor choices on weekends or large gatherings.
- QTS students continue to pick up breakfast and eat breakfast in the classrooms.
- QTS students are eating lunch in the multipurpose room; Grades K6 (Max 52) in cohort grade levels at lunch tables; Grades 7-12 (Max Range 40 – 63) in cohort grade levels at lunch tables. This practice began approximately September 20, 2021 as our staff needed a 30 minute lunch break during the day. Group size is not a factor due to our school size, unless the whole school was involved.

- QTS Superintendent Mark J. Decker is the Covid Contact tracing person for the School and administers Covid testing as needed for QTS staff and students.
