COVID Update 2.11.2021
Dear WVCSD Community,
Today, we received notification that one (1) Middle School student and one (1) Pine Island Elementary School student tested positive for COVID-19.The following overview will provide you with a summary of these positive cases:
- Warwick Valley Middle School: One student tested positive. This student was not in school during his/her infectious period.
- Pine Island Elementary School: One student tested positive. The student was at school during his/her infectious period. This case resulted in the quarantining of approximately 25 kindergarten students and four personnel.
We continue to update our COVID-19 Dashboard/Report Card daily — New York State’s COVID Report Card. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) considers Pine Island ES as a Sanfordville Elementary satellite school. Therefore, the NYSED requires the District to add Pine Island School’s COVID-19 cases to the Sanfordville Elementary report.
Thank you for practicing the mitigating behaviors needed to control the spread of the virus. Wearing a mask, physical distancing, and hand washing are essential safety measures in and out of the school environment, helping to keep us safe and our school buildings open for in-person learning.
Sincerely,
David Leach
Superintendent of Schools
