COVID-19 Information and Resources

 To help organize our efforts to keep our families and community informed and provide resources during the unprecedented time, we have created the COVID-19 tab to our website to make information easily accessible to all our school families. Our Administrative Team will continue working to address the remaining questions and concerns and this site will be updated regularly.

Latest Superintendent Communication

Oct. 20, 2020

Dear Parents, 
 
It has been a pleasure having students back in our classrooms and engaged in school again. I am impressed with how well everyone has adapted to the safety protocols while settling back into school routines. To see some of these safety measures in action, please take a few minutes to watch this short video: https://youtu.be/MNOQovLuHlo 

I have been able to visit teachers and classrooms and see the instruction being delivered remotely to our Virtual Academy students as well. I am pleased we are able to offer this option and continue to serve our students choosing a remote setting.

Anchor Bay is following all contact tracing and reporting requirements per the Macomb County Health Department. Specifically, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued an Emergency Order requiring K-12 schools to provide public notice to the school community about probable and confirmed cases of COVID-19.  Based on this Emergency Order, health departments notify schools within 24 hours of learning of a probable or confirmed school-associated case of COVID-19. Upon notification, our district posts this information on our Covid-19 tab on the district website:  https://www.anchorbay.misd.net/covid-19/covid-19-case-reporting/  

If the Macomb County Health Department identifies your child as a close contact with a confirmed case, you will be contacted by phone. After all students who have been directly impacted are contacted, an additional letter will be sent to alert all building parents of a positive case within the school building.   Our website contains helpful resources and information on preventative measures and symptoms to watch for.  Most importantly, keep your children home if they are sick and hand wash frequently to help stop the spread of COVID 19. To stay abreast regarding district cases, visit our website.
 
Please don't hesitate to contact your school building directly if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you for your continued support.  

Sincerely, 

Leonard Woodside, Ed.S. 
Superintendent
