Dear Warrior Nation
Earlier today Governor Cuomo provided some additional guidance regarding the reopening of schools across New York State. While we await written guidance, I believe it is appropriate to provide a summary of the governorβs comments.
* We should receive written confirmation by Monday, August 10 approving or requesting revisions to the July 31 Salamanca reopening plan.
* At least three parent centered and one staff centered forum will occur by August 21. Details about the time and format will be forthcoming.
* Schools will likely need to provide more guidance and formalize a process to have students and staff Covid tested.
Throughout this crisis the Salamanca community of students, parents, faculty and staff have risen to meet these unprecedented challenges. I am confident that this level of spirit and engagement will continue as we move towards our schools reopening. As planned, parents can expect individual contact beginning next week to better understand your needs and concerns.
Stay strong Warrior Nation,
Bob Breidenstein
Superintendent
