Dear Families,
You may or may not have seen media reports regarding COVID testing in schools. To help clarify, please be aware of the following COVID updates from the New York State Department of Health and Tioga County Public Health:
* There is no requirement to have a COVID test prior to returning to school after the holidays. However, the Department of Health encourages families to test their children to lessen the possibility of spreading COVID. We anticipate receiving a supply of at-home tests in the coming days that will be made available for families if and when needed.
* At this time quarantine requirements remain at 10 days for unvaccinated students who are a direct contact with a COVID positive person.
* New York State is planning to implement a Test-to-Stay program in the coming weeks. This program will allow unvaccinated students who are a direct contact with a COVID positive person to remain in school if no symptoms are present and have negative tests. The New York State Department of Health will provide school districts with tests for family use to support this program. Further details of this program are being worked out under the guidance of the Tioga County Public Health.
We will communicate the specifics of the Test-to-Stay program as more information becomes available.
We wish you a happy New Year and look forward to seeing your children back in school next week.
