The Witches’ Brew

February 2021 Edition

The Greenwich Central School district was notified that a person in the middle grade building tested positive for COVID-19. The district immediately consulted with our partners at the Washington County Department of Health. The COVID-19 positive person was last on campus on Monday, February 8, 2021.  It was determined by the DOH that some people, with direct exposure to the person testing positive for COVID 19, will be subject to a quarantine order.  The district will be contacting parents of students and employees impacted by the exposure today to alert them to this situation.  Specific information regarding the quarantine order will be made by Washington County Health officials. To allow time for the contact tracing process to occur, the Greenwich Middle Grade building, grades 3 through 6, will be full-remote on Friday, February 12, 2021.

Individuals in quarantine will have to be cleared by the Washington County Department of Health before returning to school. Please note that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other privacy laws restrict us from disclosing or confirming any personally identifiable information for COVID-19 positive individuals.

We ask that all families, staff, and students stay vigilant by monitoring health and symptoms, and by wearing masks and socially distancing. 

The school district continues to execute our reopening plan with fidelity.  Thank you for your support of the Greenwich Central School District.  Be safe and stay well.

Dear Greenwich Families,

As we approach this well deserved winter break, I would like to remind Greenwich Families of the current advisory guidelines for travel due to the COVID 19 pandemic (https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-travel-advisory).  

If you travel to a non-contiguous state, US territory or CDC level 2 or higher country, for more than 24 hours, you must first obtain a COVID-19 diagnostic test within 3 days of departure, prior to arrival in New York. Upon returning to New York, you are required to serve a mandatory quarantine period of 3 days. On the 4th day of quarantine, you must obtain another COVID-19 diagnostic test. If both diagnostic tests are negative, you may come out of quarantine.

For travel to a non-contiguous state for less than 24 hours, you need not obtain testing before your return and similarly, do not have to quarantine upon returning to New York.  However, you are required to complete a Traveler Health Form upon entry into New York and obtain a COVID-19 diagnostic test 4 days after your return.

Any traveler that refuses to obtain the required COVID-19 diagnostic test(s) as outlined above is required to quarantine after arriving in New York for the full 10-day period.

Travel to contiguous states—i.e., Vermont, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania—is exempt from the travel restrictions. But, travelers coming into New York from one of these contiguous states must still complete a Traveler Health Form upon their arrival in New York. 

If we all continue to do our part we will be able to remain open for important, in person learning for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year.  Thank you for your support of the Greenwich Central School District.  Be safe and stay well.
