Dear families,

We hope everyone has had a relaxing break. We are looking forward to welcoming our students back to school on Tuesday, 19th April.

COVID update:

Over the course of the break we had 6 positive COVID cases reported, 2 faculty and 4 students. 4 cases were from one class.  

As mentioned in our communication of April 5th, we require 2 sets of testing for the week we return from the break.  Please test your child prior to school on Tuesday,19th April and again on Thursday, 21st April.  

Protocol for the students/staff who tested positive:

• Isolate for 5 full days
• Return to school on day 6 (if symptoms are improving/resolved, and no fever for 24hrs without taking fever reducing fever reducing medications.)
• Wear a mask at school for days 6-10 inclusive

This means we will have recovered students and staff wearing a mask at school until 4/21-4/24, depending on the date of their positive test result, or onset of their symptoms (whichever came first)

According to NYS/Ulster County and our MLWS policy, classmates and faculty do not need to wear a mask when they return to school but may choose to do so as a matter of personal choice.  

We will share the outcome of this weeks testing results.

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding,

If you have any questions, please contact Covid Confidential

Thank you,
