CLOVER School DistrictMessage from Dr. Sheila B. QuinnDear Clover School District Families,

I am excited to usher in the 2021-22 school year for Clover School District staff and families. Yet I would be remiss if I did not take a minute to reflect on the incredible successes of the 2020-21 school year. Despite the overwhelming challenges presented to us by a worldwide pandemic, CSD staff and students continued to perform at very high levels. Students were able to be in school five days per week thanks to the dedication and perseverance of staff who worked tirelessly to keep everyone safe. Students also made learning a priority as evidenced by the amazing fall to spring growth data from i-Ready math and reading assessments. I would also like to extend a special congratulations to the graduating senior class of 2021 who represent the largest class in the history of Clover High School. The senior class earned over $16 million dollars in scholarships as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.

As our nation turns the corner in its fight against COVID-19 and we look forward to a new school year, it is important to reflect upon our district health and safety data and the protocols that helped us have a safe and full school year. Throughout 2020-21, CSD had a total of 463 positive student COVID-19 cases, 508 isolated cases, and 2258 quarantined cases. Staff had 134 positive COVID-19 cases, 126 isolated cases, and 281 quarantined cases. Meticulous contact tracing from school nurses and administrators revealed that most of the spread of COVID-19 did not happen on school campuses. In fact, household close contacts made up 218 documented positive cases while school close contacts only produced 64 documented cases. The remaining 201 positive student cases were close contacts outside of school. Additionally, our district data reflected the same key findings published by the CDC in its science brief on K-12 transmission of SARS-CoV-2: 1). There was higher school transmission when there was higher community transmission. 2). Children and adolescents were more commonly asymptomatic or had mild symptoms. 3). Adult to adult transmission was higher than adult to student, student to student, and student to adult transmission. 4). Spread was lower in school when layered preventative measures of masking, social distancing, hand-washing, and contact tracing were used.

With everything we have learned and with the implementation of vaccines for eligible participants, I feel confident that we are prepared for the 2021-22 school year. Once again, we have prepared a multi-tiered plan that allows us to pivot at the classroom, grade level, or school level if the spread of COVID-19 becomes a significant concern again. We made significant changes to each level because we now know how to operate schools safely with this virus. We continue to emphasize our goal of maximizing face-to-face instruction with full program offerings and participation from parents and students in the safest possible environment. Thank you to our parents, students, staff for working together to make that happen!

Message from the CSD Board of TrusteesAs the 2020-2021 school year has officially ended, the Clover School District Board of Trustees would like to thank the CSD staff, students, and parents for all of your efforts to make this year successful during very challenging times. "Unprecedented" seems to be a popular buzzword, but this year was truly like no other--and hopefully unlike any we'll ever see in the future. We are incredibly grateful for the way that all parties stepped up to the challenge and worked together to overcome the various obsticles during the school year.

Enjoy your summer! We look forward to the 2021-2022 school year.

Best regards,Board of Trustees
