Huntsville city school system alone!

This morning - some of you are waking up-- preparing to send your kids to the classroom, even as cases rise at some schools.

In huntsville - we learned there's a new case at hampton cove elementary!

It's one of the nearly 40 schools in the district staying open as it manages cases.

Waay 31's sierra phillips is live this morning with what we know about the situation there.

Less than 12 hours ago - hampton cove elementary parents recieved this letter from the school district.

It says someone associated with the school tested positive - and they were last on campus less than 48 hours ago!

At this point - we don't know whether that person was a student or employee - or where in the school other people may have been exposed.

But - the district says the last time the person was in the school was tuesday.

We checked the district's coronavirus dashboard this morning.

It says that in the past 2 weeks - hampton cove elementary has seen 2 positive cases and has 38 people in quarantine.

That's one of the lowest active case counts in the district.

In the letter to hampton cove parents - the district said it's notified everyone who was directly exposed to the person who tested positive.

Now - they're asking everyone to monitor themselves for symptoms. reporting live in huntsville sierra phillips
