Long Lake Central is meeting COVID restrictions

By PETE KLEIN

LONG LAKE—When the Long Lake Central School Board of Education met on October 8, Noelle Short, Principal/Superintendent, said student and staff compliance with COVID restrictions have been wonderful.

She said board members will be given a health screening form at each meeting to complete.

Short dispersed Committee Rosters and board members were asked to sign up if interested in any committees.

An athletic choice board as an alternate to interscholastic sports is available for grades 7-12. The competition runs October 9 to November 6. Awards will be handed out at the end.

Parents were mailed a letter regarding our Positive Case Response Plan, Daily Health Screenings, Return to School for a Symptomatic Child, Siblings of a Symptomatic Child, Return to School Required Paperwork and Remote Learning While Waiting for Return to School. Public Health from different counties have interpreted the guidance differently which has created some problems. Attendance is counted if a student is being instructed remotely.

Teacher observations have not started yet. New teachers are settling into their roles.

Academic Intervention Services are starting next week. Grades K-6 services will be in person while grades 7-12 will receive instruction from 2:15 p.m. - 2:45 p.m. via Google Meets/Google Classroom.
