Hamilton Heights School Corporation has announced that a high school student has tested positive for COVID-19.
A letter issued to parents of students in the district said, “We are sending this notification as a precautionary measure and in accordance with our Re-Entry Plan. All students and one HHHS teacher that have been in close contact with this student have been notified and will be quarantined.”
“The protocols and procedures related to this scenario can be found on pages 5-7 in our Re-Entry Plan. All parents and staff will be notified that there has been a positive test in their building.
