We have been in contact with the Albany County Department of Health and identified the close contacts in the school community. Anyone who has been in close contact with these individuals has been directly contacted by a school administrator to discuss quarantine procedures and other health-related instructions. A call from the New York State Department of Health contact tracers will follow.
We continue to work closely with the Albany County DOH and follow their guidance each time our district has a positive case. Read more information on quarantine protocols and isolation protocols from the Albany County DOH.
Please reach out to your child’s principal if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
D. Joseph Corr
Superintendent of Schools
