June 6
This is a message with information about the confusion regarding wearing masks in school. On June 6, we received official notification from the State Education Department and the New York State Department of Health, which clarifies what was released by the media on Friday, June 4. The message is as follows:

SED has been in communication with Executive staff regarding the (Friday) letter from Dr. Howard Zucker, New York State Commissioner of Health. According to conversations with Executive staff, the intent of this letter was to obtain a response from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) regarding differing standards for summer camps and schools; it has not changed any existing arrangements. Therefore, schools should continue to operate under their existing procedures until further notice. No changes have been, or will be, made by the Executive until after Monday, June 7 to afford the CDC an opportunity to respond to the letter.

For now, masks will still need to be worn by students and staff in our Johnson City buildings.

To allow for the comfort of our students and staff when outdoors for class, recess, sports or PE, masks will be optional. The heat over the next few days is a concern and it seems appropriate to let each person make that choice given there has been no evidence of transmission of COVID-19 while outdoors.

Once any changes to these protocols have been made to the district, we will send out further communication.

November 30
Given the recent Thanksgiving holiday, and with Christmas break right around the corner, we encourage our Wildcat families to familiarize themselves with the New York State Travel advisory information regarding quarantining and COVID testing. As a reminder, if your student travels out of state for more than 24 hours, they must receive a negative COVID test result within 72 hours of their arrival to NY from the state they were in and quarantine for three days upon their return to NY. Please note: Returning travelers should call the New York State COVID hotline at 1-888-364-3065. On the fourth day or later, students must obtain a second COVID test. If the test comes back negative, they may return to school. If a student does not get tested, a 14-day quarantine starting the day they return to NY is mandatory. It is of the utmost importance that we continue to be diligent about following health and safety protocols. You can find a link to the latest New York state COVID Alert information HERE.
