Hello Imlay Families,

Linked here is information about the voluntary COVID screening testing program for students. This information will also be sent home with your child in hard copy. If you would like your child to participate, please complete and return the General Consent form and Authorization form as soon as possible. Testing will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 12, at our school. This means that a test kit will be sent home with your child on Monday, Oct. 11, and on each subsequent Monday for collection on Tuesday, Oct. 12, and each subsequent Tuesday (unless there is no school on either the kit distribution or collection day). Please note that negative screening testing results cannot be used to avoid quarantine if a child subsequently develops primary symptoms of COVID or is determined to have been in close contact with someone who has COVID. Please read the information carefully and contact our office if you have any questions. 

Thank you!

Hola familias de la escuela Imlay:

En este enlace se muestra información sobre el programa de pruebas voluntarias de detección de COVID-19 para estudiantes. Una copia impresa con esta información también se enviará al hogar con su estudiante. Si desean que su estudiante participe, por favor completen y devuelvan el formulario de consentimiento general y el formulario de autorización lo antes posible. Las pruebas comenzarán el martes 12 de octubre en nuestra escuela. Esto significa que se enviará un kit de prueba al hogar con su estudiante el lunes 11 de octubre y cada lunes subsecuente, el cuál será recolectado el martes 12 de octubre y cada martes subsecuente (a menos que no haya clases ya sea el día de distribución o recolección del kit). Por favor, tengan en cuenta que los resultados negativos en las pruebas de detección no pueden ser utilizados para evitar la cuarentena si un estudiante posteriormente desarrolla síntomas primarios de COVID o se determina que ha estado en contacto cercano con alguien que tiene COVID. Por favor, lean la información detenidamente y comuníquense con nuestra oficina si tienen alguna pregunta. 

¡Gracias!

Dear Imlay Staff and Families,

Recently, as part of routine environmental testing, all of the faucets, fountains, and other water sources at our school were tested for the presence of lead. 

We just received the results and learned that ten water sources tested above the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recommended action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb):

• Room 102 drinking fountain - 34.2 ppb
• Room 104 drinking fountain - 23.3 ppb
• Room 107 drinking fountain - 212 ppb
• Room 108 drinking fountain - 25.5 ppb
• Room 110 drinking fountain - 16.5 ppb
• Room 111 drinking fountain - 17.2 ppb
• Kitchen, wand faucet at floor mixer - 20.1 ppb
• Kitchen, pot filler faucet - 50.0 ppb
• Room 203 drinking fountain - 18.8 ppb
• Room 206 drinking fountain - 19.8 ppb

Our drinking fountains were already shut off because of COVID, and the other water sources were turned off immediately upon receiving the over-limit results. The fixtures will remain unavailable until they can be replaced. Once new fixtures are installed, they will be re-tested for the presence of lead and will only be placed back in service once the lead levels are below 15 ppb. 

Please refer to this document for additional information about lead content in water.

We take everyone’s safety and health very seriously and appreciate the opportunity to work swiftly in collaboration with Facilities and PBS Environmental Engineering consultants to address this issue. 

Sincerely,

Jen McCalley
Principal
