Dear Huskie Pack:
Our students, staff, and family’s safety and well-being are of the utmost importance to us.
At this time, we have had a pocket of 7 (seven) COVID-19 laboratory tested positive cases at Hemlock Middle School and, more specifically, within 6thgrade.
Our district’s COVID-19 task force met this afternoon to review the Saginaw County Health Department requirements and our procedures and protocols. Currently, per the task force, we are doing the following:
- Offering all 6th-grade students a virtual option effective immediately through Friday, September 17th.
- Offering close contacts, an option to either quarantine or attend school while taking a daily serial antigen test (negative), and wearing a mask during the same time frame of the quarantine.
Please be patient with us as we deal with changing protocols as the number of cases has increased.
We encourage you to accept no substitutes for school communication; the best place to find out information on what the school is doing is the school.
Be well, be safe, all the best,
Don Killingbeck Jr., Ed.D, Superintendent
