COVID
COVID continues to be present in our community and in our schools. As we have all heard, the Omicron variant is more quickly and easily spread among contacts. Fortunately, the symptoms seem to be less severe than the original virus. That being said, we still need to be vigilant and we still need to maintain healthy protocols including mask wearing and handwashing.
Likewise, we ask that you monitor your child for symptoms and keep your child home if s/he is ill or displaying symptoms. If your child tests positive for COVID, please notify the school as well as the Cortland County Health Department via their online reporting system.
Thank you for your assistance with this important matter.
