The elementary school will re-open for in-person instruction
Dear DCS community,
A short time ago, the Duanesburg Central School District was informed that a member of the Jr/Sr High School has tested positive for COVID-19. The individual was last in the building on Jan. 6. The district has taken immediate steps to notify the Schenectady County Department of Public Health. The district is working closely with the public health department and following all guidance provided by them.
We will be re-opening our Elementary School for in-person instruction tomorrow, Jan. 15. Elementary students and staff who are not quarantined may return to school.
Our Jr/Sr High School will remain on Remote Learning Friday, Jan. 15. It will reopen for hybrid instruction on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
Please remember that there is no school on Monday for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
Off-campus programs
If not quarantined, BOCES Career and Technical Education (CTE) students will attend their programs in-person. Transportation to all off-campus special education programs will proceed as normal.
Food service
Parents who wish to arrange meals for their children may contact Mary Jewell, Food Services Director, at mjewell@duanesburg.org or 518-895-3000 ext. 228.
Contact tracing
You will be notified by public health or our school nursing staff if you or your child has been in close contact with this individual. If you are not contacted, then you know that you and/or your child have not been in contact with the individual who tested positive.
Sincerely,
Dr. James Niedermeier
Superintendent of Schools
