Parents/Guardians:
We realize that there are many unanswered questions. Please know that the information we are receiving from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin Department of Health Services, and the Buffalo County Health Department continues to be fluid. We have been working diligently to come up with a plan to make things run as smoothly as possible for all of our District families. We are meeting with all staff today, and as a follow-up, Administration will meet tomorrow to make sure we’re all on the same page. A detailed plan will be distributed to District residents tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Dear Parents:
We have been notified by the Buffalo County Public Health Department that there is a confirmed case of pertussis (whooping cough) in a student in the Mondovi School District (High School). The Buffalo County Public Health Department has already contacted those people who may have been exposed and they have discussed further evaluation and treatment if needed. There is no correlation between pertussis and the Coronavirus.
Pertussis is an illness that spreads easily by the coughing of an infected person. It begins with mild, cold-like symptoms, including cough and runny nose. These first symptoms typically appear 7-20 days after a person is exposed. The cough typically worsens over the following weeks and becomes spasmodic. The cough may be followed by a “whooping” sound. The spasms of cough may be followed by vomiting. Some persons with pertussis may have very mild symptoms (mild cough with no other symptoms) and may not realize that they are sick or contagious.
Pertussis can affect anyone; however, it can be most detrimental in infants. In very young babies (less than 6 months old), pertussis can lead to bacterial pneumonia, weight loss, and dehydration. More than half of the babies with confirmed pertussis are hospitalized.
Pertussis is treated with an antibiotic. Students who are prescribed antibiotics for pertussis can return to school following the fifth day of treatment. Without antibiotics, a person with pertussis is considered to be contagious for three weeks. It is important that ill students stay at home away from others (especially infants and young children).
Pertussis vaccine is administered in combination with diphtheria and tetanus vaccine (DTaP) in a five-dose series and protects children against whooping cough. There is also a booster vaccine (Tdap) for adolescents and adults. Please check with your health care provider to make sure your child’s shots are up-to-date.
Please watch your child for any symptoms of pertussis (mild, cold-like symptoms) over the next several weeks. If you notice any of these symptoms in your child, please contact your health provider as soon as possible.
For further information regarding pertussis, refer to this website:

Sincerely,
Greg Corning
