West Chatham Elementary School Closure Lifted

Press release from the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System:

10/22/2020

SCCPSS considers the health and well-being of our students, teachers, and staff to be of the utmost importance. It is with this in mind that we are notifying you that the one-week closure of West Chatham Elementary School due to positive COVID cases has been lifted as of Monday, October 26, 2020.

The school has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. No new cases related to school staff or students have been reported this week and we have no immediate concerns of transmission risk at this time. As a result, the school will be open beginning Monday for those students and staff taking part in hybrid learning.

All families are encouraged to continue to closely monitor their children's health. If a child develops COVID-19 symptoms, parents are asked to please keep him or her out of school and group activities, such as sports or play groups, and contact the child's healthcare provider as soon as possible.

Once again, the closure has been lifted for West Chatham Elementary School and those participating in the in-person hybrid learning model will be able to return to school beginning Monday, October 26, 2020. All students should remain on their regular learning schedule as provided by your school. We thank you for your understanding and patience and for your support of Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools.
