School District of Reedsburg

* 10/5/20-10/16/20 - Webb Middle School temporarily operated in 100% Virtual Learning Model due to a COVID-19 exposure along with a shortage of substitutes within the district. Student quarantine numbers are not included in the total above.

The COVID-19 Data Dashboard provides information about the results of COVID-19 reported by Sauk County Public Health (SCPH).

Due to our obligation to protect student and staff confidentiality, we cannot share details about these cases. Identifying students by grade level or classroom jeopardizes our ability to keep this information confidential. If members of our school community feel we are not doing our best to keep personal information confidential, we run the risk of families no longer sharing important health information with us. We need accurate data to make the best decisions for our students, staff, and community.

How Exposure Is Determined

The School District of Reedsburg communicates daily with Sauk County Public Health on positive COVID-19 and possible exposure cases. The district wants you to be aware of what triggers a communication from school.

• If an individual tests positive for COVID-19 and attends school/school events while infectious, a COVID-19 Low-Risk Exposure Notification letter will be sent through a Skylert message to parents/guardians of identified students in shared spaces/classrooms and/or an entire school population who are not deemed close contacts. If you receive this communication, your child DOES NOT need to quarantine and you should continue to monitor your child for any COVID-like symptoms.

• If an individual tests positive for COVID-19 and comes in close contact, a COVID-19 Close Contact Exposure Notification letter will be sent through a Skylert message to parents/guardians of close contacts. Additionally, a member of Sauk County Public Health or a school nurse/official will call to provide steps for quarantine and possible testing.  

• What does being a Close Contact to a COVID-19 positive individual mean?
  • For COVID-19, CLOSE CONTACT is defined by WI Dept. of Health Services as to any individual who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes, OR someone who had direct physical contact (e.g. hug, kiss, shake hands, etc.) with an infected person, OR someone who had contact with an infected person’s respiratory secretions (cough, sneeze, contact with dirty tissue, sharing a glass, food or other personal items.).
