HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Buhler USD 313 announced Monday that, due to an increase in COVID cases, Prairie Hills Middle School is implementing stage 2 protocols.
The active case count is 14 after nine new cases were identified.
All staff and students (and visitors) will be required to wear a mask inside PHMS for two weeks starting Tuesday, Oct. 4, and ending Sunday, Oct. 17.
All new close contacts that may be identified in the next two weeks will not be eligible for Stay to Learn testing and must serve the 8-day or 10-day quarantine. This is due to being at full capacity with daily testing at PHMS.
All students and staff will be asked to wash/sanitize hands at the beginning of each hour. Hand sanitizer is available in every classroom and at the entrances of the building.
Those students already in the Stay to Learn testing protocol will continue to test every morning.
The district says it is not able to add any more students into the test-and-stay protocol for the next two weeks.
