The information below applies to the 2021 summer school/summer programs only.
Additional information will be shared regarding the 2021-2022 school year as soon as it is released from the NYSDOH.
Face Masks:
• Summer school: Mask wearing for summer school in-person instruction is no longer a requirement, however, NYSDOH strongly recommends wearing masks while indoors where vaccination status is unknown.
• Students: Children who are not fully vaccinated are encouraged, but not required, to wear masks indoors. Masks are not required for any outdoor instruction or activities.
• Staff: Unvaccinated staff must wear a face covering while indoors when in the presence of others.
• School buses: All staff and students utilizing transportation must continue to wear masks at all times.
No one should be discouraged, ridiculed, or bullied for wearing a mask.
Social Distancing: (When Possible)
Students and staff should maintain 3 feet of social distancing. High transmission activities such as eating, singing, exercising inside, etc., should maintain 6 feet of social distancing. It is still recommended to maintain 3 feet of social distancing on school buses.
