Dear #RPS Strong Family,
I'm reaching out with this special RPS Direct to share that seven staff members and four students have tested positive for COVID-19:
- Academic Office – 2 staff members (last at City Hall on 10-28)
- J.L. Francis Elementary School – 1 student (not physically present this academic year)
- Maymont Preschool – 1 staff member (not physically present this academic year)
- Oak Grove-Bellemeade Elementary School – 1 student (not physically present this academic year)
- Richmond Alternative School – 1 student (not physically present this academic year)
- River City Middle School – 1 staff member (last there on 11-17)
- Thomas Jefferson High School – 2 staff members (one was last there on 10-21) and 1 student (not physically present this academic year)
- YMCA Facilitated Learning Center at Miles J. Jones Elementary School – 1 staff member (last there on 11-24; as a result, entire site closed until 12-9)
Please reach out to your primary care provider if you have any concerns, or contact the Richmond City Health District (RCHD) by calling their COVID-19 hotline: (804) 205-3501.
Our number one priority remains the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. We will continue to work in close collaboration with RCHD to ensure the well-being of the entire RPS community.
If you have any questions, as always, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best,
Jason
