Week 21

Upcoming:   Covid is everywhere!  We are trying really hard to stay in-person.  We are using TEST TO STAY in order to keep students safely in school.  All in-school tests are free, and done with parental permission.  Streaming is limited to students who meet specific criteria such as: Extended Illness, Quarantine approved by the office, or one vacation per year with advanced notice. 1/7/2022 DAILY CASES PER 100,000 14-DAY CHANGE DAILY DEATHS PER 100,000 14-DAY CHANGE Nassau County, N.Y. 129 -70% 0.76 -47% Pic of the Week Fortunately, the cases have finally started to trend down, though there are many cases within our school family.  We always notify anyone who was exposed to an active case.  In-school parental class visitations not including Art classes are suspended.  Quiet Time is remote for the time being.
