COVID-19 Update - Shared or Confirmed Cases - February 28th - March 11th

March 24, 2022

Dear NECSD students, families, faculty, and staff:

The district will continue to inform families and staff about any confirmed positive cases on COVID-19 reported from a school or district building regardless of whether or not scholars and/or staff are present in the school or district building at that time. This protocol is in an effort to keep you informed about your school community. 

In addition to confirmed positive cases, this communication also shares reported cases that have not yet been officially confirmed by the standards set forth by the Orange County Department of Health. 

Any positive individual(s) has been instructed to isolate. Children and/or staff that were on-site and in direct or proximate contact with the positive case have been contacted by district staff and/or Orange County Department of Health and may be instructed to quarantine based on distance and duration of exposure and vaccination status. 

Recommendations from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) for ways in which you and your family can help limit the spread of COVID-19 can be found here. 

View the NECSD Reopening Family Guidebook to learn more about the district’s approach to safely reopening schools here. 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding COVID-19, please continue to use covidhelp@necsd.net or 845-563-3412. Please consider the COVID-19 vaccination if you have not already and continue to wash your hands, watch your distance, and wear a mask. We are honored to have your support and look forward to our collaboration as we work together to overcome this pandemic.
