While we are not reinstating a mask mandate, we are aligning with the CDC, NYS and Ulster County Department of Health in recommending our students and staff wear a well fitting, high-quality mask indoors at school with immediate effect. Masks do not need to be worn outdoors.
Masks are recommended for the following:
- Inside all school buildings
-
for all indoor school events, including: Music Share, Class Plays, Field Trips etc
- to be worn by parent drivers/parent passengers when carpooling
- any transportation where class cohorts are mixing, such as on buses
- day 6-10 for recovered individuals returning from isolation
- for 10 days following a positive exposure
-
when engaging in a high risk activity, such as indoor singing or mixing class cohorts - students need to either wear a mask or be spaced 6 ft apart.
-
for parents/visitors visiting the school & for indoor gatherings (no indoor group meetings during school hours)
No masks:
- outdoors
- for outdoor gathering - cohorts can mix without masks or distancing
Other:
- no indoor gatherings with food or drink (outdoors is ok)
Mitigation measures such as frequent hand washing, air filtration, ventilation and distancing will be reinforced.
Testing: This weeks testing recorded one positive case and the class was duly informed. We will continue testing once per week (first day of each week) until we have 2 weeks of 0 positive cases.
***After the Memorial Day Weekend we require two tests:
On Tuesday, 31st May & Thursday, 2nd June***
Please keep your child home when they are sick, and test them if they are experiencing possible COVID-19 symptoms.
If you have any questions, please Covid Confidential
Thank you for your ongoing diligence,
Susan Ramaty
on behalf of the MLWS COVID Health & Safety Taskforce
