OilerNation-
We are aware of concerns being shared regarding a student health matter at EAWR. We want to reassure families that the District is actively addressing the situation in coordination with our school nurse, administration, custodial staff, guidance services, and the local health department.
Out of respect for student privacy, we cannot share individual details. However, we want families to know that appropriate precautions are in place, impacted areas are being addressed, and custodial cleaning protocols have been reinforced. The District is also offering direct support to families involved, consistent with public health guidance.
The health department has advised that the appropriate response in situations like this is continued outreach, support, and practical interventions—not exclusion or discipline of students. The District is following that guidance while taking reasonable steps to protect the school environment.
We understand that situations like this can cause anxiety. Please know that student safety, dignity, and well-being remain our top priorities. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued partnership with EAWR.
