Dear Parents;

We are happy to let you know that the past 2 weeks of all school CoVid testing for staff and students has not revealed any positive Covid cases. Thank you for your diligent co-operation.

As an additional bit of good news, the NYSDOH has amended the requirement for CoVid testing for vaccinated and unvaccinated persons to permit school participation after CoVid-like symptoms. Rapid NAAT or antigen tests can now be accepted from individuals with COVID like symptoms to prove they are not COVID positive. In other words, schools no longer need to require PCR testing for symptomatic students or staff. 

Based on the happy results from the past 2 weeks, we will revert back to testing only 20% of the unvaccinated student body for next week. Please note that if your child has been selected (randomly) for testing and they have been vaccinated, full vaccination( 2 jabs) is required to be exempt from surveillance testing.

Thank you,

MLWS Administration
