Dear K-12 Families,
As a follow up to Dave McCusker’s message last night to the MPH community, we are writing to provide a few details about our transition to distance learning that is planned for Monday, November 30, through Friday, December 4.
Update on Testing
Members of our Pandemic Response Team are in contact with officials from Onondaga County, and we anticipate proceeding with testing on the MPH campus by the end of next week. We are still waiting on specifics but will hopefully be able to share additional details soon. In the meantime, we have learned that the test to be administered is the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card Rapid Antigen Test, involving a quick and non-invasive nasal swab. If you have not already completed a consent form for your child(ren), please click here to complete the consent form. (As a point of clarification, only one consent form is needed per family. If you have already completed the form, thank you for doing so.)
Monday Morning
- Lower School students will begin their day at 9:00 a.m. by joining their Lower School teachers on Zoom links provided via class emails and on Google Classroom.
- Middle and Upper School students will begin their day at 9:30 a.m. by joining their advisory online. Links to their advisors’ Google Meet or Zoom can be found in each advisor’s Google Classroom site. Advisors will use this time to check in on students and address their questions.

All K-12 Distance Learning Schedules are posted on the My MPH portal.
Additional Middle School Note
All Middle School students should review the Middle School Distance Learning Schedule posted on both My MPH and the MPH Middle School Google Classroom sites. Be sure to scroll down to the second page of the distance learning schedule for additional clarification on Performing Arts, Physical Education, and World Languages.
As always, we appreciate your partnership, and if you have questions, please reach out to us.
