In order to reduce intrusiveness, and in response to feedback, Calhan School District will amend its virus notification procedures slightly beginning Friday, Nov 6. In cases of low-risk virus events, such as contacts of contacts, parents, and guardians of impacted students will be notified via email. For higher-risk events, such as contact with a known positive, notification to families of impacted students will continue to be made by telephone, so that questions can be answered immediately. In both cases, administrators will be available to answer any immediate or later questions you may have. To ensure notification, please update your email contact information as necessary. Thank you for your continued efforts to maintain a healthy school.
