UPDATED Back to School 2022-2023

The New York State Department of Health has released new COVID-19 guidance for K-12 schools which aligns with the most recent CDC guidance.
The new guidance provides greater flexibility for school districts and families, including the following changes:
- Students are not required to wear masks, including on a school bus.
- Students and staff will no longer have to quarantine following exposure to COVID-19, but should wear a mask indoors for 10 days and test on day five or sooner if symptoms develop.
- Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 should isolate for five days at home, and wear a mask for 10 days following their positive test.
- Physical distancing is no longer required.
- Test-to-Stay and contact tracing are no longer required.
- Unvaccinated school staff will not have to undergo weekly testing.
As always, we ask students and staff to stay home if they are feeling sick. Please err on the side of caution. Our littles love to share many things including germs and we would like to mitigate this from the start.
