Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s),
Thank you for your continued
communication and cooperation in regards to implementing the New York
State Department of Health (NYSDOH) COVID-19 protocols for children to
attend school. Although we have had a few positive cases in the District
that have caused us to shift to distance learning at times, together we
have largely been successful in having all of our students attend
school daily. Please find a link below to the NYSDOH Pre-K-12
COVID-19 Toolkit which includes the most recent protocols issued from
the NYSDOH. Please review page A-1 and A-2 which clarifies the NYSDOH
requirements for when a child can attend school and when they can return
to school after displaying COVID-19 symptoms. The SWRCSD adheres to
this guidance from NYSDOH. NYSDOH: Pre-K-12 COVID-19 Toolkit

Please continue to advise your building nurse if your child is
displaying COVID-19 symptons or is being tested for COVID-19. As
always, please reach out to my office should you have additional
questions.
Sincerely,
Gerard W. Poole
SWRCSD Superintendent of
Schools
As we approach the holiday season,
many families may be considering traveling. You may already be aware
that NYS has recently changed its COVID-19 travel guidance as it relates
to quarantines and testing. Traveling may impact a student's ability to
attend school upon return. Please find the link below from NYS which
describes the new requirements. The SWRCSD adheres to these protocols
for school attendance. NYS COVID-19 Travel Advisory
