Dear Black River Community,

MDHHS and the Ottawa County Health Department adopted the procedures recommended by the CDC today for educational settings.  Black River will also work to incorporate the changes to the isolation of COVID-19 cases and quarantine rules as soon as possible.

Please understand that these changes may take a few days to implement as we learn how the rules apply to all of the different situations our students and staff face.  Meetings are already scheduled with our health department to help clarify questions and plan for the new parameters.

Thank you for your patience as we work to incorporate changes in the safest manner possible.

Shannon Brunink, Head of School
