Current information on Travel, Exposure and Covid-19 Testing Procedures
We wanted to reiterate the most up-to-date information regarding guidelines for travel, exposure and Covid-19 testing, as there have been numerous questions this week, and another school break will be here before we know it! The District has been adhering to these guidelines, and, as always, any updated information will be communicated as it becomes available to us. Please reach out to your school nurse with any questions.
Travel Guidelines: New York residents who travel outside the five contiguous states (New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Connecticut) for more than 24 hours must follow these guidelines:

Testing Information for Asymptomatic/Symptomatic Students:
There has been a profusion of new tests available on the market and the internet for COVID testing. The ONLY tests that will be accepted for students are:
Please note for symptomatic students any negative antigen or rapid PCR test (other than Cepheid) MUST be backed up with a negative PCR and the student must quarantine while waiting for results.
None of the above recommendations represent a change in policy. All documentation must be submitted to the school nurse for review and approval prior to the student entering their respective school building. 1000 W. Boston Post Rd. • Mamaroneck, NY 10543 • (914) 220-3000 |
