Jan. 6: COVID-19 positive case notification

Dear DCS families:

Today the Duanesburg Central School District was informed that a student in the Jr/Sr High School has tested positive for COVID-19. However, based on when the individual was last in school, public health has indicated that there is no need for contact tracing from the school setting or for any other member of the school community to quarantine. 

We again remind you that we are following all of the necessary health and safety precautions outlined in our reopening plan, including mask-wearing, social distancing and enhanced cleaning and disinfecting. We will continue to work in close partnership with our public health partners. We also ask you to continue to maintain personal awareness of COVID symptoms and encourage your children to continue following appropriate safety precautions. 

We appreciate your support, cooperation and partnership. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. James Niedermeier
Superintendent of Schools
