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.

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.
