Dear School Community:

We were notified that two S.S. Seward students have tested positive for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since the students have not been in the school during the infectious period, there are no promixate or direct contacts from the school. We will work in coordination with the Orange County Department of Health as necessary.

The most important things you can do:

• Make sure your child wears a mask
• Make sure your child washes his/her hands.
• Keep your child home if ill.
• Call primary care provider if you or your child has symptoms of COVID-19.

Thank you for understanding that, due to medical privacy laws, we are not able to release the names of the individuals with COVID-19. We will continue to communicate changes and updates with you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Orange County Department of Health at 845-291-2330. Thank you for your cooperation.

All schools and buildings in the District will continue to operate on a regular schedule.

Sincerely,

Jan Jehring
Superintendent of Schools
