Dear Peetz School Community,
Peetz School District continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation and is in close contact with the Logan County Emergency Manager, the Northeast Colorado Health Department and the Colorado Department of Education.
Out of an abundance of caution and to allow time for the situation to stabilize, Peetz School District has decided to close school from March 17 - March 29, 2020. Many school districts across the state have already done this. We will then reassess the situation and formulate a plan for the remainder of the school year. I will send out further information as official decisions are made.
Though there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Logan County currently, we want to practice the recommended social distancing and avoid large gatherings of people. Practicing good hygiene and staying home when ill are simple actions that empower us all to help protect our most vulnerable friends and family (the elderly and those with underlying health conditions).
If you feel like you or a family member have symptoms (fever, cough, respiratory illness) please stay home and call your primary care provider for guidance.
We also want to help dispel rumors and fear by providing the following link to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which has the most up to date information.
Another great resource is the Colorado Help Line. Call 303-389-1687 or 877-462-2911 to talk to a real person. You can also email COHELP@RMPDC.org for answers in English and Spanish.
Together we can help ensure the health and safety of our community.
Sincerely,
Dustin L Seger
Superintendent
