Changes to COVID-19 Isolation & Quarantine
Today, January 11, 2022, the Westchester County Department of Health adopted the updated New York State Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control’s recommendation to shorten the duration of isolation and quarantine. Please carefully read the entire message, which outlines the most recent guidance.
The Week Ahead
Students, faculty, and staff made it through a challenging but rewarding first school day of 2022. My note this evening is to share that our schools will remain open. Today, 103 faculty and staff, including 59 teachers (15% of total faculty), were ill or tending to a family member. While schools will remain in session, many experiences will be impacted; we are doing our best to make school meaningful for your children.
The Westchester County Department of Health granted approval for the Harrison Central School District to implement a Test to Stay Program, starting December 20, 2021. We are pleased our advocacy efforts helped to expedite approval of this program to ensure students remain in school for in-person learning.
The HCSD TTS webpage provides an overview of the program requirements and responsibilities for parents and students.
