Re: Weekly COVID-19 Update
Good evening Bulldog Family, please see the attached weekly COVID 19 report. Please contact your child's campus if you have questions.
Junior High Principal Chrystal Ballard and Assistant Principal Bryan Hurst accepted a $2000 donation this morning from local Brookshires Store #60. The store recently competed in a Kellogg's contest, and not only did they win first in their area, they won first in the whole company. They were allowed to choose any school they wanted to donate their first place prize to, and they specifically chose Quitman Junior High School.
Thank you to Brookshires, and to all of our local businesses for your continued support for our students.

To better communicate with parents, staff, and the community we will begin posting a COVID-19 Report at the end of each week instead of daily call outs. The report will include the number of active cases on each campus, the type of active case, and the positivity rate for the previous week. Probable close contact notices will continue to be sent daily as cases are reported to notify parents. We want to encourage all staff, students, and parents to review the QISD Health Response Protocol as this is updated regularly. Thank you all for being flexible and understanding during this time. Please contact your child's campus if you have questions.
