Tecumseh, MI – The following was sent to Tecumseh Public School parents:
“TPS has been informed of one more positive COVID-19 case. In addition, we have been informed by the Health Department to expect at least two more positive tests, soon. When contact tracing the confirmed positive case AND the potential cases advised of by the Health Department, more than a hundred individuals at THS will be or potentially could be sent to quarantine, including several teachers. Therefore, we believe it is best for all concerned to close Tecumseh High School at this time. The tentative return date as of now is Tuesday, October 13.
On Monday, October 5, ALL THS students will be placed in the Distance Learning format on the normal schedule. Tomorrow, all THS students who are NOT in quarantine will be allowed into the building after 10am to retrieve any needed items. Teachers will be available by email during the day Friday to answer questions.
Decisions about athletic teams will be made in the morning and will be communicated through program head coaches.
All other TPS buildings will run as they have been. Busses will continue to be in service.
Again, we are making this decision with the belief that it is the safest approach for all staff and students.”
