OSTC Notice
Dear Parents,
The Oakland County Health Division has changed the COVID-19 Risk Determination Level for Oakland County to an "E" category, the highest risk level on their Guidance for In-Person Instruction chart. A level E risk determination means that there are 150 or greater cases per million with a 20 or greater percent positivity rate.
Due to the significant increase and prevalence of COVID-19 in Oakland County (Risk Level "E" - Highest Risk category) and the presence of active COVID-19 cases in our sending district schools, the four Oakland Schools Technical Campuses (NE, NW, SE, SW) are returning to virtual instruction for all of our students effective November 3, 2020 through January 15, 2021. Students will return to the same virtual platform and learning experience they have been using. Additional information and updates regarding future instructional delivery models will be provided as we navigate these unprecedented times.
In the meantime, please continue to follow all COVID-19 health and safety recommendations from the Oakland County Health Division and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
-
Stay home if you’re sick, or have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19.
-
Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering when around others.
-
Put distance between yourself and other people (at least 6 feet).
-
Clean your hands often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
-
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
-
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean your hands after throwing away the tissue.
-
Clean and disinfect frequently-touched objects and surfaces daily.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
