Dear Parents/Guardians:

This evening, we learned a twelfth grade student tested positive for COVID-19. Due to privacy laws, we are not able to share the identity of the student or share details of their case. However, we can confirm that this student is in Cohort A, was last in school on Thursday, March 25 and is on the Girls Varsity Volleyball team.  Westmo logo

The district is currently working with the Oneida County Department of Health to complete contact tracing. All individuals determined to have been a “close contact” will be contacted and placed into precautionary quarantine unless it is determined not to be necessary in accordance with state and county guidelines. In-person learning at the Jr./Sr. High School will resume as normal, but the Girls Varsity Volleyball game on Saturday, March 27, has been postponed. Other contests could be postponed as well.

As always, the safety and well-being of our students, staff and community are our number one priority. Despite the recent decrease in daily positive COVID-19 cases in our region, it is impossible to completely eliminate the risks COVID-19 poses and it is important to remain vigilant.

Thank you for your continued support, understanding and patience. Please remember to follow all protocols concerning COVID-19, including the wearing of a mask, frequent hand washing and social distancing.

Sincerely,

Rocco Migliori Superintendent of Schools
