Alba Public Schools recently issued the following announcement.
During the evening of October 6, 2021 Alba Public School was contacted by a parent indicating her school aged children were positive for COVID. These students had been in school during the school day and for most of the first week of October. Due to the ages of the children and the potential for exposure across much of the Alba Public School building and on our bus run, we believe it would be best to cancel school from October 8th though October 15th with school resuming on Monday, October 18, 2021. With the closure of school on October 7th, this will allow a full eleven days of isolation/quarantine for our students. The health department is allowing students to return to school ten days after close contact if no symptoms have appeared.
Please keep your student monitored for any health issues during the quarantine period and attempt to keep them isolated from others. For this reason, all school related activities during the closure period have been cancelled.
On Friday, October 8, 2021, from noon to 3:00 p.m. Alba Public School will be passing out materials for remote learning at the high school entrance by the gymnasium. Please, stop by the building during this time frame so we can get your students the necessary items for remote instruction.
During the closure, we will be delivering breakfast and lunch to our students who are typically bus riders. For those who are able, we ask that you pick-up student lunches daily at noon at the Jordan River Road entrance near the gymnasium.
Alba Public School is trying to make the most out of a terrible situation. We want our students back in school as quickly as possible and we ask your assistance with keeping them safe and quarantined during the closure.
