Dear Families and Staff Members - 

 

Thank you for a great first month of school!

We do have some work to do to combat COVID 19. Please be sure to follow the safety precautions by wearing a mask, considering getting vaccinated in consultation with your physician, staying home when you are sick, testing on a regular basis, washing your hands, and maintaining social distance. Here is the case totals as of 10/1/2021 (14 more cases since the last update on 9/17):

 

School	Student Cases	Staff Cases
Big Picture	1	1
Grimshaw	7	1
Jr/Sr High	6	3
Onondaga Nation School	9	5
District-Wide	0	2

Please consider signing up for surveillance testing - click here. We conduct testing every Tuesday in all schools. Please sign up before Monday. You can also sign your child up to receive diagnostic testing if they develop symptoms during the school day. The district office will be mailing a letter along with a consent form to each household during the next week. Community based testing is also available for individuals who develop symptoms outside of school hours - https://covid19.ongov.net/appointments/

 

Thank you for working together to combat the virus, and to keep our schools safely open for in person learning. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for a great first full week of school!

 

Sincerely,

Jeremy Belfield
