The State of Missouri has launched a new website for the state's expanded set of COVID-19 dashboards. Included in this data is information that tracks positive cases among all school-aged residents (ages 5-19), including non-public school students, in each school district's geographic boundary. Please visit the site below to find updated information daily.

Parents will be contacted by a representative of the Carthage R-9 School District and/or the Jasper County Health Department if their child is believed to have been in close contact with an individual with a positive COVID-19 test. When contacted by the Jasper County Health Department, the health department will provide specific guidance regarding testing and quarantine.

Important: The Jasper County Health Department has partnered with ACCESS Family Care to assist in contacting families when their child has been identified as having been in close contact with an individual with a positive COVID-19 test. As a result, families may receive a call from ACCESS Family Care on behalf of the Jasper County Health Department.

Only the Jasper County Health Department can issue quarantine orders and release individuals from quarantine. The District only provides contact tracing information.
