  • New Masking Guidance

    Beginning Wednesday, March 2, masks will be optional for all students and staff.

    The NYS Department of Health recommends that students, teachers, and staff wear masks when:

    • they feel more comfortable wearing a mask for personal reasons,
    • they were exposed to someone with COVID-19 within the past 10 days, or
    • they are immunocompromised and have discussed the need to mask with a healthcare provider.

    The NYS Department of Health requires that students, teachers, and staff wear masks when:

    • returning to school during days 6-10 of the isolation period following a positive test result, or
    • returning to school without a negative test result during days 6-10 after having symptoms of COVID-19.

    As each person may choose whether or not to wear a mask unless otherwise required by the Department of Health, we will respect and support those who choose to wear a mask at school.

  • Test to Stay Protocol

    Beginning next week, JPS will offer the "Test to Stay" (TTS) protocol under the direction of the Chautauqua County Health Department. TTS is a modified quarantine protocol that may allow unvaccinated, asymptomatic students or employees to continue school attendance by providing negative COVID-19 test results during the five (5) day quarantine period following exposure. Advance consent is required. For information and a consent form, see http://jpsny.org/TTS. If you have questions, please contact your school.

  • Updated Guidance for Quarantine & Isolation
     
    The NYSDOH issued new guidance for schools on January 10. Under this guidance, all fully vaccinated students and employees who have been exposed to a person with COVID-19 may continue to attend or work at school, regardless of booster status, while quarantined outside of school. Those who are eligible for a booster but not boosted may not participate in extracurricular or after-school activities and must stay home when not attending school. Please see the latest guidance document, which includes these revisions.
