Superintendent's Update- Monday, November 20, 2020, updated 3:30 PM

November 23, 2020

Dear Parents/Guardians:

As we continue to ensure the safest possible learning environment for our students and staff and to provide transparency, we have the following new updates related to COVID-19:

• A staff member at the Jr. Sr. High School tested positive for COVID-19. This individual has been working remotely.
• A Jr. High staff member has been designated positive for COVID-19.
• A student at Cahill Elementary has been designated positive for COVID-19. 

An individual who is designated positive by the Department of Health has not received negative testing results or has not received an alternative diagnosis within 48 hours from onset of COVID related symptoms.  

All students and staff who have been identified to be in direct or proximate contact with the individuals have been notified. The Ulster County Department of Health will contact these individuals.  As a reminder, due to many privacy laws, we are unable to identify the individuals who were designated positive for COVID-19.

All schools will continue with Hybrid learning.
 
Thank you for patience and flexibility as we continue to work to meet the needs of our students and their families. 

As a reminder, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises that COVID-19 spreads mainly from having close contact with someone who has a COVID-19 infection. This virus can be spread by people without symptoms. This is why wearing a mask, social distancing, and frequent hand washing/sanitizing is so important.

Symptoms may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure to the virus and include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headaches, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea. It is essential that if your child has any of these symptoms related to COVID-19, that they stay home from school. Consult with your child’s doctor for advice whenever needed. 

We continue to urge vigilance and responsibility. The only way to prevent the spread of this virus is by taking precautions and personal responsibility for your interactions. Remember we are all in this together. 

Sincerely,
Kirk Reinhardt
Superintendent

Superintendent's Updated -About Weather - Tuesday, November 3, 2020, updated - 2:30 PM

November 3, 2020 

Dear Parents and Guardians: 
As we head into the winter months, I’d like to address the District’s plan regarding the use of snow days, particularly, while we are in hybrid mode. 

If there is a weather-related event causing dangerous road conditions or any other conditions that may impact the health and safety of students and staff, the district will continue to use delayed openings/snow days, as we have done in past years. 

In any other scenario, if it is deemed possible to operate the school remotely (ie. when there is a water main break, etc.), we will do so. If remote instruction needs to be canceled for the day, it will be considered a snow day. 

There are six (6) snow days allocated for the 2020-2021 school year. If more than six (6) snow days are used, the make-up days will be taken from spring recess. If less than six (6) snow days are used, the unused days will be added to Memorial Day weekend and/or spring recess (please refer to the district calendar). As always, the health and safety of students, staff, and the community continues to remain a priority.  

Sincerely,

Kirk Reinhardt
Superintendent
