Fairport Central School District

School Reopening Update

Posted on in "Community, District Wide, Parents, Superintendent"

Dear Fairport Community:

It is hard to believe that one year ago this weekend was when our lives changed. 

Thank you to those who joined me this week for our Virtual Community Meeting – I hope it provided some clarity on our plans moving forward. For those who did not participate in the forum, in summary: pending approval/guidance from the NYSDOH, the District is planning to reopen all of our schools K-12 to 5 days a week, in-person learning between April 19 through May 3.

I also shared information about our Return to School Advisory Committees and timeline. We had an overwhelming response – more than 200 community members applied to provide their perspectives around returning to school to full time. We are contacting those who have been selected and appreciate everyone’s interest.
