by Mark Adam | Jan 21, 2022 | Bell Top, Columbia, District, Genet, Goff, Green Meadow, Red Mill, Sutherland

The East Greenbush CSD is now accepting at-home COVID-19 tests for students and employees. Up until this point, based on previous state and county guidance only lab-certified tests were accepted including rapid antigen, rapid molecular and PCR tests. Given their expanded availability, the acceptance of at-home tests will reduce delays in obtaining results and ensure more students can return to in-person instruction. Use of these tests will also help our district maintain adequate staffing levels and enhance our current mitigation practices.

While the East Greenbush CSD is committed to continue full time in-person learning, we have created a Remote Learning Plan so we can be prepared to change instructional models if needed. We are not currently considering a switch to remote learning, but we feel it is important to be prepared should the need arise. We will do everything possible to maintain in-person learning for our students and families.
