As with any infectious illness, students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 or who show symptoms are asked to stay home from school, and it is recommended they follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Isolation Guidance below:

• Someone who tested positive and has no symptoms may return to school after day 5. 

• Someone who has tested positive and has symptoms may return to school after day 5 if they have been fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and symptoms are improving.

• It is recommended that people who have been sick or tested positive wear masks until day 10. 

Testing is recommended for people with symptoms of COVID-19 as soon as possible after symptoms begin. Please note that we do not offer testing at school.

COVID-19 vaccinations are not required to attend school.

Masks continue to be optional. However, any student or staff member may wear a mask while at school if they are more comfortable. Mask-wearing is recommended by the CDC and the NYSDOH for at least 10 days following a positive COVID test or COVID illness.
