Two cases of Covid-19 at Hanscom Middle School

Two students from the same household who attend Hanscom Middle School have tested positive for COVID-19, Superintendent of Schools Becky McFall informed Lincoln Public Schools parents on Monday.

The recipients of McFall’s email were parents whose children have not had close contact with the affected students. Parents of children who were in close contact were notified separately. All close contacts should be tested but must self-quarantine for 14 days after the last exposure to the person who tested positive, regardless of test result. The school was also disinfected with a focus on those areas frequented by the community member that tested positive, McFall wrote.

Students in quarantine have access to their classwork via their remote learning platform (either SeeSaw or Google Classroom). “In addition, we have support at each level for students during quarantine including their Learning Coaches, classroom assistants, tutors, and our counseling services,” McFall wrote.
