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.
