We are Heading "Back to the Future!"

We have endured much together throughout this pandemic and are delighted to have all students back in school for live instruction five days per week for the 2021-22 school year! We are going to apply everything we have learned through our shared struggle to create a future that is even better than the version of schooling we knew before. This chart provides more detail regarding back to school protocols designed to keep everyone safely enjoying a rich, live, in-person school community experience.

Guidance from the New York State Department of Health as well as Guidance from the New York State Education Department was used in developing our plan. Here are some highlights:

• In-person instruction full-time, five days per week
• Masks required indoors; optional outdoors
• Latest guidance should GREATLY REDUCE QUARANTINES
• No daily screening or temperature taking
• Lunch service resumes- outdoor spaces will be used whenever possible
• Classrooms at approximately 3 feet of social distancing in normal desk/table configurations
• No remote option
• Gateway testing will be implemented through the Westchester County Health Department
