Letter to the Lincoln Public School Community on Wednesday Jan 5, from Superintendent Becky McFall:
Dear LPS Community, The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster ride with increasing COVID cases, changing guidance from the CDC, DESE, and MA DPH, and working to put plans in place for students and staff to return to school safely. Great gratitude goes out to all of our employees who have rallied together to keep the wheels turning and to provide stability and routines for our students, helping them to feel comfortable and confident at school. Over the December Recess, we had 52 reports of positive cases; there were 18 employees and 34 students. Additional employees and student cases were reported on January 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The number of cases is continually changing but the summary below will give you a sense of the cases across the district. The results from this week's pooled testing are not yet available. Additional communication will be sent out when the information is available. Below is the summary of our cases from December 24 – January 5: Lincoln K-4 24 Students 6 Staff Lincoln 5-8 18 Students 6 Staff PreK Lincoln 2 Students 1 Staff PreK Hanscom 1 Student 1 Staff HanscomPrimaryS 9 Students 11 Staff HanscomMiddleS 13 Students 3 Staff TOTAL 67 Students 28 Staff All the best,
