Dear Northwest Families,
This letter is to inform you that an individual participating in our athletics program, who was last present outside on Northwest HS grounds on Friday, March 12, 2021, tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19). We wish the individual well and look forward to their safe return once they have been medically cleared.

If a student develops any of these symptoms at all, they should stay home and contact their healthcare provider immediately for advice.

As a reminder, here are the steps that we can all take to keep ourselves, families, and school community safe from COVID-19:
I know this is a difficult time, and I appreciate your support in maintaining a safe and healthy school environment.
Respectfully,
Jimmy D’Andrea
