To: Parents or Guardians of children who attend Eagle Nest Elementary-Middle School:
Cimarron Municipal Schools is working with the New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) and New Mexico’s Department of Health (NMDOH) because we have determined a number of students and/or staff within Eagle Nest Elementary-Middle School have tested positive for COVID-19.
This letter is to inform you about the next steps necessary to protect your child and our community from COVID-19. Per guidance from both NMPED and NMDOH, we are required to investigate to see who had “close contact” with the staff member or student who tested positive for COVID-19. The recent positive cases are close contacts for PreK, 1st grade, 5th grade, and 8th grade. Due to the number of close contacts, and further possible exposures, we will be moving into remote learning for all ENEMS students for this upcoming week. Students will return to onsite school on Tuesday, October 26. There will be NO athletic practices or competitions for the Eagle Nest sites during this time.
Remote Learning Expectations:
There will be NO classes this afternoon (Thursday, Oct 14). Students will be expected to login to their live Google Meet for every class, every school day, starting tomorrow, Friday, Oct 15. They are also expected to complete all of their assignments during the remote learning time, either through Google Classroom or other method identified by the teacher.
Testing available:
We will be offering testing at Eagle Nest Elementary Middle School parking lot for any students, staff, or family members who would like to be tested on Monday, October 18, from 9:00am-12:00pm. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a signed parent consent form.
In the meantime, if you or your child begin to develop symptoms of COVID-19, which are fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of smell or taste, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea please call your healthcare provider or the COVID-19 Hotline at 1-855-600-3453 and have them tested.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Areas of the school (including buses) in which the COVID-19 positive individual spent time will be deep cleaned during this closure, as they have been each day. .
Breakfast and Lunch
If you would like your child to have meals delivered during remote learning, please call Anita Padilla at (575)376-2445 ext. 103 and leave a message with your children’s names and address. Breakfast, lunch and a snack can be delivered or you can pick up meals at the Eagle Nest cafeteria from 11:00-12:30 or at Moreno Valley High School from 11:30-12:30.
We truly apologize that this is what we need to do at this time, but we sincerely feel that this is in the best interest for the safety of our students and staff. Thank you for your support in these efforts.
