A Greenfield student has tested positive for COVID-19 on the day the district returned to class.
The student reportedly attended school for part of the day Thursday, the first day of classes in Greenfield.
After learning of the test result, the district enacted its "Positive COVID-19 Test Protocol," including isolating the student at the junior high school's clinic and using the student's schedule to determine which students or staff with whom they may have come in close contact. That included transportation and extracurricular activities.
The district and the health department were working to call those identified as possible close contacts Thursday night.
While Olin said all areas of the district's schools are professionally disinfected each evening, the classrooms and areas where the student occupied will be given special attention.
Before the school year, the district outlined steps parents should take to check for possible COVID-19 before sending their child to school.
Superintendent Dr. Harold Olin sent an email to parents of students at Greenfield-Central Junior High School Thursday, notifying them a student at the school had tested positive for the virus. Olin said the district was notified of the positive test by the Hancock County Health Department.
