Gregory-Portland ISD Parents/Guardians & Staff,

You are receiving this notice because your child attends school, or you are working, in a campus/facility where a possible and/or lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 has been reported. Please see the update below.

COVID-19 Status Update – December 18, 2020

• One (1) student received and reported a positive COVID-19 test result, however information provided did not indicate whether it was a possible or lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 (antigen or PCR test), therefore the district is including this case among the "lab-confirmed" cases for reporting purposes.
• This individual has not been present on any district campus/facility for at least 72+ hours.
• The individual was asked to follow protocol including not reporting to school in person for at least 14 days from the time that symptoms and/or test results were first reported.
• The latest COVID-19 case counts district-wide can be found anytime at www.g-pisd.org/covidcounts

G-PISD will follow our response protocol that includes reporting to the San Patricio County Health Department, who will perform any contact tracing that may be deemed necessary. G-PISD will fully disinfect any work space(s) and area(s) and follow all other safety protocols. We extend our sincerest wishes for improved health to this/these individual(s). Please Note: G-PISD reports cases that are both lab-confirmed (PCR test results) and possible (antigen/antibody test results) cases of COVID-19 for full transparency because some individuals may be administered only an antigen test by a physician. Action is taken to address safety needs for all in both cases, though the CDC considers only lab-confirmed cases to be deemed true, verifiable COVID-19 results.

• One (1) student received and reported a positive antigen test result (possible COVID-19).
• This student has not been present on any district campus/facility for more than a week. Additionally, the student has been enrolled in virtual learning and only briefly visited the campus/facility for school-related purposes at that time.
• The student was asked to follow protocol including not reporting to school in person for at least 14 days from the time that symptoms and/or test results were first reported.
• The latest COVID-19 case counts district-wide can be found anytime at www.g-pisd.org/covidcounts

G-PISD will follow our response protocol that includes reporting to the San Patricio County Health Department, who will perform any contact tracing that may be deemed necessary. G-PISD will fully disinfect any work space(s) and area(s) and follow all other safety protocols. We extend our sincerest wishes for improved health to this/these individual(s).

Please Note: G-PISD reports cases that are both lab-confirmed (PCR test results) and possible (antigen/antibody test results) cases of COVID-19 for full transparency because some individuals may be administered only an antigen test by a physician. Action is taken to address safety needs for all in both cases, though the CDC considers only lab-confirmed cases to be deemed true, verifiable COVID-19 results.

Thank you,

TO: Parents/Guardians of the G-PMS Summer Strength & Conditioning Program

CC: Parents/Guardians of the G-PHS Program

G-PISD has been informed that a student athlete in the G-P Middle School strength and conditioning program received an initial, positive test result for the COVID-19 virus as reported by the parent. This athlete has not attended practice since last week. However, out of an abundance of caution, the G-P Middle School program will be suspended until Monday, July 13th. Practices are planned to resume on that date, unless any further changes become necessary. The G-PMS coaching staff confirmed that all safety procedures have been followed for the program including social distancing, face masks worn inside facilities, temperature checks upon arrival, and other protocols in place as defined by UIL as well as the G-PISD Athletic Department.

We encourage all G-PMS parents of student athletes involved in this program to monitor their students for any signs or symptoms of the COVID-19 virus while the program is suspended. Per safety procedures in place, any student exhibiting symptoms is not to attend practice.

G-PHS Program: The G-P High School strength and conditioning program will continue as scheduled, with all safety procedures being implemented. Swift action will be taken when, or if, there is any need to suspend this program. In the meantime, please be assured that the High School athletes are using facilities that are completely separate from the Middle School athletes with the exception of Ray Akins Wildcat Stadium. While both groups use the stadium, the schedules are different: High School athletes use the stadium from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and MIddle School athletes from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Additionally, the stadium is routinely cleaned and sanitized multiple times throughout the day (as are all other athletic facilities).

We wish our G-PMS athlete a quick recovery and improved health, and thank you for your continued support.

Respectfully,

G-PISD Administration & Athletics Department

G-PISD extends Modified Operations following State Closure of Schools for the Remainder of the School Year

Dear G-P Community,

Today Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, announced an executive order to extend the closure of all Texas schools through the remainder of this school year, 2019-20. In response Gregory-Portland ISD will continue to run with modified operations, and continue e-learning for students, through the last scheduled day of school on Thursday, May 21st.

For the remainder of this school year, G-PISD campuses and facilities will remain closed to the public. This includes all UIL events, practices, rehearsals, and all other programs and activities involving students that require gathering in person. G-PISD teachers and staff will continue to receive direction from supervisors, and we will continue to perform the essential work of educating and serving our students and families at a distance via e-learning. Additionally, we will develop a process and communicate with families so that any school district materials or equipment being borrowed by students may be returned to G-PISD in a safe manner. We would also like to remind you that resources are available for students and families who may be experiencing difficulties at home. We encourage you to reach out to our District and Campus Administrators, including Counselors and Social Workers, via Anonymous Alerts or at g-pisd.org/ContactUs. You can also find resources for counseling, meals, financial assistance, and more, at g-pisd.org/SupportServices.

District updates will continue to be provided via standard notification systems and social platforms (email, phone, Remind, website, Facebook, Twitter). The latest information from the District, and tips for preventing illness as well as identifying the symptoms of COVID-19, can be found at www.g-pisd.org/COVID-19.

We are thankful for the ability to continue serving our students and families during this time. However, we also acknowledge the sacrifices necessary to do so. As always, our students are our greatest concern. We are saddened for all of them, because we realize how many are missing the environment, structure, social interactions, and friendships they have enjoyed this year. We are deeply disappointed that this pandemic has resulted in missed time and celebrations for our graduating seniors, and we will be developing plans to address their needs as much as we can. More will be communicated to the parents of graduating seniors regarding graduation plans, and any other plans to support our Class of 2020.

We extend our sincerest thanks, once again, to all of our parents and guardians who are balancing needs at home to make continued e-learning possible for all students. We are grateful for all of our teachers and staff whose classrooms remain empty, and whose hearts remain full. Together, we will get through this experience and move forward as one community.

In all my time as Superintendent of this school district, I have consistently seen so many of you come together time and time again to help each other. The G-P community is strong because of you, and because of the students being raised and educated here. They will remember this time, and they will remember that we did our best for them. I assure you we will continue to do our part for each and every student, and I know you will continue to do the same. For this, and for everything else you are doing to serve this community, I sincerely thank you.

Respectfully,

Dr. Paul Clore, Superintendent

THIRD G-PISD EMPLOYEE TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

TO: G-PISD Parents/Guardians & All Employees

Gregory-Portland ISD administration has been notified that a third employee tested positive for COVID-19. This employee was the last of three who reported symptoms and had been working at G-P Middle School. The employee has not been at work for the last 14 days. This report confirms that all three employees who reported symptoms, and had been working at G-P Middle School between March 18-20, 2020, have now tested positive for the virus.

The District notified the San Patricio County Health Department to report this information immediately upon receipt. All G-PISD campuses and facilities have been closed since Friday, March 27, 2020. Actions were promptly taken after the District received reports from these employees that they were experiencing symptoms.

The District will protect the privacy of these employees, and will not be able to provide further information. However, we do extend our sincere support and wish all three of these employees a full recovery.

We ask our employees, and all in our community, to continue to be diligent in practicing social distancing and staying at home as much as possible (with some exceptions for those required to work outside the home). If you reside in a city or county where a "stay at home" order has been issued, please abide by the order. Additionally, please continue to monitor yourself and those in your family for any signs of illness (fever, cough, or shortness of breath), and plan to stay home from work and any other activities if you are not feeling well. As reported by local medical officials and authorities, these practices will aid in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Information about how to prevent illness, tips for recognizing the signs and symptoms of COVID-19, and links to local and national medical resources are available at: g-pisd.org/COVID-19

G-P Middle School Closed to Staff until Further Notice

Gregory-Portland ISD has been notified that three (3) District employees have exhibited some of the symptoms of COVID-19. These three individuals reported having been near one another simultaneously while on campus, and of the three, only one (1) qualified to be tested for COVID-19 (results are currently pending). Out of respect for the privacy of the employee(s), the District is not able to provide additional information. However, please be assured that the District is cooperating with the San Patricio County Health Department and is assisting in identifying any other individuals who may have come into contact with this/these individual(s) in recent days.

The District believes that these employees were at G-P Middle School between March 18-20, 2020.We encourage any individuals who were present at this location on those dates to take necessary precautions for their health and safety of themselves and their family. Please also be advised that G-PISD staff has been actively working to keep all areas at campuses and facilities as clean as possible, with heightened procedures in recent weeks for disinfection as a precautionary measure for all employees.

As a result of the latest information, G-PISD will close the G-P Middle School campus to all staff until further notice. No one is to enter the building for any reason until, or unless, expressly advised and approved by the Superintendent.

Dear G-P Community,

Dear G-PISD Parents/Guardians, Staff, and Community,

Thank you for the support you've provided in recent days and weeks, both within our campuses and in your homes, to encourage and employ best practices for preventing illness. We understand from local and national medical authorities that everyone, working together, will need to diligently continue this effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 ("Coronavirus") and help protect those most vulnerable among us.

With that goal in mind, and considering information received from various state and local authorities (including receipt of an update from the Texas Education Agency for school districts regarding COVID-19 released last night), Gregory-Portland ISD will extend Spring Break for an additional week with no school and no extracurricular activities until Monday, March 23, 2020. All G-PISD teachers and staff are asked to remain in the local area, and anticipate further direction from supervisors.

This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the change may cause an inconvenience for some families. While no cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in our county as of this date/time, we are taking this proactive approach out of an abundance of caution and concern for our community. However, please keep in mind that the Texas Education Code (TEC) requires school districts to provide 75,600 minutes of instruction to students during the school year. As of this time, there have been no confirmed changes to this requirement for districts in our situation (with no confirmed cases of COVID-19). This extended Spring Break (March 16-20) will not require additional minutes or days to the current schedule. If future action is needed to close for additional days, we will be planning steps to add minutes to our operational day as necessary. We will continue to closely monitor this situation, and keep you informed of any changes.

Preventing & Reporting Illness

We hope to receive your continued support as we try to do our part to minimize public interactions and therefore lessen the potential spread of this illness. We also ask that you please consider joining us in following guidelines from medical officials to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by avoiding large crowds, electing to avoid or limit travel plans, and continuing to follow best practices for preventing illness. Please see the list of reminders below:

• Practice excellent handwashing procedures, and encourage students to do the same (minimum 20-second scrub with soap all over hands and forearms, every time);
• Encourage students to wash hands before every meal, and remind younger students not to place hands (or toys, pencils, etc.) in their mouths;
• Help your student remember to cough into his/her elbow or forearm, instead of into his/her hand(s), and away from others as much as possible; and
• Please consider promoting wellness by staying home as much as possible and especially if you, or your child, may not be feeling well or develops a fever.

We ask that those who have traveled during Spring Break to areas with known COVID-19 cases (both inside and outside the country) please self-report and monitor your symptoms closely. G-PISD employees are asked to notify the Human Resources department via online submission (CLICK HERE to report to HR). Parents/guardians of G-PISD students are asked to provide information to School Nurses as they deem appropriate (CLICK HERE to provide information to School Nurses).

We encourage our families to review information from local and national health officials, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the San Patricio County Health Department, and stay informed regarding what steps to take if you have recently traveled and/or have determined you may have come in contact with COVID-19.

School Safety & Wellness

In the meantime, G-PISD continues to prepare a learning environment that is as safe as possible for our students and staff with the continuous application of practices that have been in place for several years (and now with increased frequency as a result of concerns related to COVID-19). These efforts include the broad coating of hospital-grade disinfectant on all surfaces in classrooms, hallways, office spaces, and public areas using district-owned and operated electrostatic sprayers. In addition to daily, standard disinfecting procedures performed by teachers and custodial staff, the use of these sprayers provides full-coverage sanitization to sufficiently clean buses, locker rooms, materials, equipment, etc. G-PISD will continue to perform deep cleaning across the District as part of our commitment to safety and wellness.

If you have additional questions, please send an email to Crystal Matern, Communications Officer, at cmatern@g-pisd.org. We will develop a list of questions and answers (FAQs) to be released with the next status update from the District.

Thank you,

G-PISD Administration
