Just a friendly reminder that we are a non-partisan, grassroots group of parents who send our children to school in Cedarburg. 🧡

We formed to work together to gather and share information related to mitigation measures as we all continue to navigate this health crisis. We care about our community and do this work for free.

According to the Cedarburg School District dashboard, only lab verified test results are counted. Including non-verified results, such as rapid take-home tests, would increase the elementary schools total by 52 positive Covid cases.

Each week, Children’s Wisconsin will provide hospital census information to help our community better understand how respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), are impacting kids.

Elementary families received at least 25 covid notification letters TODAY.

Elementary families received at least 58 covid notification letters since returning from winter break:

𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣: 35 Total Positive Cases of COVID-19

𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙣: 13 Total Positive Cases of COVID-19

We sincerely hope everyone recovers quickly and are thinking of all the CSD families juggling sick kids, school, and work right now!❤️‍🩹

The Cedarburg Covid Dashboard only reflects PCR tests (not rapid tests). For various reasons, many families have limited access to tests.

𝔻𝕚𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨... The Cedarburg School District could offer on-site free access to 𝕆ℙ𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ𝔸𝕃 testing for CSD families? Unfortunately, the current School Board members are opposed to offering this option to CSD families that want it.

Covid notification letters are sent only to elementary school families by grade level. There could be more, but here are the notification letters we received in just the past four days since returning from winter break:

𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬: 4 Total Positive Cases of COVID-19

𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣: 22 Total Positive Cases of COVID-19
(4K-4, K-3, 1st-2, 2nd-2, 3rd-2, 4th-1, 5th-7, & one unspecified)

𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙣: 3 Total Positive Cases of COVID-19

We all want our kids to be safe and healthy at school. Let's work together to help prevent the spread.

“The best way to prevent children from being in the hospital with these illnesses is to get everyone who is eligible vaccinated for both COVID-19 and influenza. And as always, continue to wash your hands, wear a mask and stay home when not feeling well. These are very simple but effective steps that prevent kids from being hospitalized from these illnesses.”

Each week, Children’s Wisconsin will provide hospital census information to help our community better understand how respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), are impacting kids.
