Dear Madison-Plains Local School District Families and Staff,

The purpose of this communication is to let you know that the Madison-Plains Local School District has received word that we have our first confirmed case of COVID-19.  The positive case is a person who is a student at Madison-Plains High School (MPHS).  

A general letter to our district accompanies this communication regarding this confirmed case at MPHS.  Another letter is being sent to the parents and guardians of students who shared a classroom, bus, or were in an activity with the student.  

Further, Madison County Public Health will be reaching-out to the parents and guardians of students and staff who were within six feet of the confirmed case for 15 minutes or more during the time when the person with the positive test result may have been infectious, prior to their positive test, for contact tracing.  Students or staff who were within six feet of the person with the confirmed case during the time when they may have been infectious, prior to their positive test, will have to quarantine for 14 days.  If Madison County Public Health does not contact a parent or guardian of a student, that student was not considered a close contact and does not have to quarantine.

Again, we have received notice that a person who is a student at Madison-Plains High School has had a positive test for COVID-19.  A letter with more information is attached below.

Thank you for your support in helping to keep our school district and community healthy and well.

Have a good evening.

Dear MPLSD Parents and Guardians,

Good evening!  The purpose of this communication is to share some important news.

In light of the authority of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service office (FNS) is granting an extension of summer meal programs for students.  

As such, beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, September 9th, 2020, all Madison-Plains Local School District students will receive breakfast and lunch at no charge, regardless of household income.  The office of Food and Nutrition Service is planning to have this program be in effect until December 31, 2020, or until federal program funds are depleted.  Please note this only applies to the regular school breakfast and lunch meals.  The program does not extend to additional ala carte offerings that may be available for purchase.

Again, the extension of this program is scheduled to go through December 31, 2020, or until federal program funds are depleted. Therefore, regular school breakfast and lunch prices will resume once federal program funds are depleted, or when students return to school in January 2021, whichever occurs first.

Thank you!

Have a wonderful evening!

Go Eagles!

Dear Eagle Nation,

Greetings!  The purpose of this communication is to share with you information related to the District’s mask policy and symptoms checks that are to be done before coming to school every day.

First, each school district in Ohio was required to develop and approve a mask, or face coverings, policy.  Our District has done that, and it is being posted, along with this announcement, for our parents, guardians, and staff members to review.  Along with the policy, a set of administrative guidelines was also developed, and those are also being posted.

In short, please know that masks are required on campus at all times, with some exceptions applying.  Those exceptions are outlined in the policy and the administrative guidelines.  Anyone not willing to comply with the policy will need to leave campus.  Again, please read the policy and the guidelines related to the wearing of masks.  

Secondly, in order for us to have the best chance of being able to keep our students in school, it is important that anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 not come to school.  As such, all staff and students must do a symptom check every morning before leaving home to come to school.  If anyone has even one symptom, they are not to come to school.  

The symptoms of COVID-19 are as follows:  fever (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit), chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.  

Again, any person displaying even one symptom should not come to school.  Also, if your child needs to stay at home, please remember to call their absences in to the school office daily.

I know these are challenging times.  Please know we are doing our best to try to meet the expectations that have been given to us in order to provide our students and staff the safest possible environment and the best learning experience we can.

Thank you, in advance, for your support of and cooperation with these policies, guidelines, and expectations.

Go Eagles!
