Concerns and occasional rumors are common with the local knowledge that there has been a surge of COVID-19 but Duchesne County School District is making it clear where things stand in their District. “Threshold levels have not been reached by any district schools at this time,” shared a Monday announcement. “Duchesne County School District continues to encourage its students, families, and staff members to take action to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This includes staying home when sick, receiving the vaccine, the voluntary wearing of masks, and practicing personal hygiene (washing hands and using hand sanitizer).” Positive case numbers are monitored and recorded daily and can be checked on www.dcsd.org.
