Canisteo-Greenwood Central School District

Good morning, Yesterday the district was informed of a positive 12th grade student. The student became symptomatic on Monday but fortunately was not in school. After contact tracing, 7 additional students were quarantined through school contact. All the families affected by the mandatory quarantine have been contacted. After this investigation, we understand that everyone is experiencing Covid fatigue, but it is important that if a student is not feeling well that he/she stays home and do what is necessary to get back into school. We have come so far this year and the last thing that we would want to see as a district is the threat of an outbreak forcing us to go remote for a couple of weeks to stop it. A small number of students quarantined is statistically better than having to stop in-person instruction for hundreds of students for 2 weeks. Please, if you are not feeling well, stay home. Yours in service, Thomas J. Crook Superintendent

Good evening, This afternoon we were informed that we have a positive 12th grade student. The student became symptomatic yesterday and was not in school today. Our tracing efforts have yielded 5 additional students required to quarantine. All affected families have been notified. This is CG's 55th case for the year and the first in several weeks. As county numbers are increasing, please remain vigilant in distancing and masking efforts. Yours in service, Thomas J. Crook Superintendent

Dear Parents, Friday, June 18th and Monday, June 21st there will be no school due to excess snow days not used for the 2020-21 school year. We are letting you know ahead of time so you can plan accordingly. Thank you!

Yesterday the district was informed that we have a positive high school student. The student became symptomatic last Friday (April 2nd), so we must go back 48 hours (3/31 and 4/1) for contact tracing purposes. There were 9 students affected by the tracing efforts. All families have been contacted that were affected by the tracing criteria. We wish a speedy recovery to the student. Yours in service, Thomas J. Crook Superintendent

Good afternoon, This is just a friendly reminder that for the safety of our elementary students and their parents, we are asking that no cars be parked on the inside of the parent drop-off loop. It is crucial to not have our children and parents walking in front of moving vehicles to get to their car on the inside. In addition, please avoid parking in the striped zones towards the entrance of the loop. By doing this, we are allowing for 2-way traffic in and out and not creating a dangerous head-on situation. We have placed cones to indicate the areas we cannot have people parked; please do not park in between them. We thank you for your cooperation and patience.

Good afternoon, We received word from the county health department that we have a positive high school student. Our contact tracing efforts take us to Monday and Tuesday morning of this week. We have determined that we must quarantine 15 students and 1 employee. All of the affected families have been contacted. We wish this student a speedy recovery. As you have probably read, the county is starting to see its numbers creeping up slowly over the past week. I know that many of us are suffering from Covid fatigue, especially as the nicer weather approaches, but we need to make sure that we are still following the masking and distancing protocols required by the NY Dept. of Health. We are beginning to see some regulations loosened for schools and we just ask for your patience as we continue to navigate through this year. Yours in service, Thomas J. Crook Superintendent

Reminder- Thursday, April 1st is early release day. Students in the Elementary School will be dismissed starting at 11am and students in the High School will be dismissed starting at 11:25am. Parents please plan accordingly.

Good morning, due to updated qualifications for a quarantine, the district will be holding its Board of Education meetings in person moving forward. Tonight's meeting at 6pm will be held in the HS Auditorium.

Good afternoon, We were informed earlier today that we have a positive high school student. This student was last in the building Monday, March 1st.

Crook Superintendent

As we approach Sectionals week, in the event that CG hosts any games, there will be the usual $5 fee for Sectional spectators. Our county health regulations will not change and we will continue with 2 spectators/player for home spectators only.

Good morning, this is just a friendly reminder to all families that may have traveled out of state (other than a bordering state) for Winter Recess. State health regulations require all who traveled to quarantine for 3 days upon coming back to NY and get a Covid test on the 4th day. No staff or students should report to school until after they receive a negative Covid test. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we must follow NYSDOH guidelines.

Tonight's basketball games will broadcast through the District's Facebook page rather than the Live Coverage on the website. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Spread the word. https://www.facebook.com/Canisteo-Greenwood-Central-School-166125973480972
