As the number of cases of COVID-19 increases in New York State and the Capital Region, the district would like to remind everyone to maintain the strong habits we are developing as a school community:

• Avoid large and small group gatherings such as parties or unstructured situations which bring people from different households into contact with each other.
• Wear masks at all times when out in public, particularly when you cannot socially distance or when participating in such activities as club sports.
• Wash hands with soap and water frequently and thoroughly. Use hand sanitizer when soap and water is not accessible.
• Monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and in the event someone is sick, stay at home and contact your primary care provider.
