Spur ISD administration has been notified that one of its employees and multiple high school and junior high students have tested positive for COVID-19. The staff member and the students are currently being quarantined and will remain so pending medical release. We are currently in the process of determine students who will be considered to have close contact and will be notifying you soon if your child is considered to have had close contact. Spur ISD staff members and students who have been identified as having had “close contact” with the employee and or students (i.e., being directly exposed to infectious secretions, e.g., being coughed on, OR being within 6 feet for a cumulative duration of 15 minutes) have been separately notified and are also self-quarantining in accordance with CDC and TEA guidelines.
Spur ISD will only do remote learning for the next 2 weeks and will begin face to face instruction again on September 8th, 2020.
All elementary students will be contacted by their teachers tomorrow and we will be making arrangements to get them their information.
Secondary students should log on to google classroom at their normal scheduled times for instruction. The bell schedule is located on the Spur ISD website.
Please do not hesitate to call your campus principal with questions regarding this change.
I apologize for any inconvenience on you or your family. We are doing our best to try and alleviate any further exposure.
Thank you

Parents,
If you have taken your child to be Covid-19 tested please contact Spur ISD at 806-271-3272 or email chamilton@esc17.net so we can collect data for exposure. At this point if you have not been contacted by your child's administrator then your child has not been considered a close contact. This is a fluid situation and can change based on data we receive . Only parents/guardians of the student need to send information regarding testing. Thank you
