Dear Parents, Guardians, and EISD Staff Members, In keeping with Eastland ISD’s practices to respond to COVID-19, we are notifying all families and staff members that a student who was lab-confirmed to have COVID-19 was present on the campus of Eastland High School on Thursday, August 26, 2021. Due to privacy requirements, we will not be releasing the name of the individual or details that may identify him or her. The District is working with local health officials and we have begun a case investigation. Campus administrators will contact any individuals determined to be in close contact with the infected individual. All students and staff that came into close contact will be directly notified as soon as possible. We will keep you apprised of further updates that may be necessary. While we do not have reason to believe that those who were not in close contact with the infected individual have reason to be concerned, we ask that you, as always, watch for symptoms of COVID-19. Any of the following symptoms indicate a possible COVID-19 infection: • Feeling feverish or a measured temperature greater than or equal to 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit • Loss of taste or smell • Cough • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath • Fatigue • Headache • Chills • Sore throat • Congestion or runny nose • Shaking or exaggerated shivering • Significant muscle pain or ache • Diarrhea, nausea or vomiting If you or any member of the EISD community does begin experiencing any of these symptoms in a way that is not typical, we encourage you to contact your physician. We encourage anyone in the EISD community who is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19 to please notify our school by contacting the campus administrator. Dr. Jason Cochran - Superintendent Eastland ISD

Early release at 12:00 today and tomorrow. Bagged lunches served in cafeteria until 12:15. Buses will run at 12:15.

Parents, Guardians, and Community Members, It has come to our attention that an outside entity is soliciting "sponsorships" from local businesses for our school programs such as athletics. Please know that if the request does not come from a EISD student, local booster club, or group sponsor/coach it is more than likely a scam and none of the funds go to help EISD students and programs. We appreciate all the support that our students receive from the EISD community to help improve their overall educational experience. If you have any questions about a solicitation that you think might not be legit please feel free to contact the campus offices or central administration. Thank you, Jeremy Williams -Assistant Superintendent
