Dear Parents

We will be contactable over the Feb half term if your child tests positive for Covid-19:

If your child tests positive for Covid-19 in the days immediately following the end of this first half term, please email us at: headteacher@parkside.staffs.sch.uk with the following details and call 07927643262:

We will need to know:

1. Your child’s full name and Registration Group

2. Your name and contact number

3. The date their symptoms commenced (if they had any)

4. The date of the confirmed positive test

Please do not phone the school as there will be no-one in school to check the answerphone.

Where we are made aware of a positive case, our Covid response procedures will kick into place. If your child is identified as a close contact of an infected child, we will contact you via text and email, advising your child to self-isolate for the requisite number of days. Please do follow this guidance in line with the instructions under which we must all live at present.

Clearly we recognise that if we contact you, the news is likely to be unwelcome, but it is our responsibility to do as the Government requests in these circumstances in order to keep everyone safe and reduce the transmission of the virus.

We hope you have a restful half term holiday.
