Dear Holley Central School District Families and Staff,

This notice is to inform you that three Holley Middle School/High School (MS/HS) staff members and one contracted employee who is assigned to the MS/HS have tested positive for COVID-19. One of the staff members was last at school on Jan. 27, two on Feb. 2, and the fourth on Feb. 3. The district is unable to legally disclose any other additional details or personal identifiable information about these individuals per the federal privacy laws.

The health department has indicated to us that there is no quarantining required for any students, due to these cases. The staff members who will be quarantined due to being close contacts of these individuals have been informed.

Reminders:
Parents:  If your son/daughter is getting tested for COVID-19, please inform the school nurse, so we can monitor.  If your child has COVID-19 symptoms, they should not be coming to school in-person.

Staff:  If you are getting tested due to having COVID-19 symptoms, please inform your supervisor and remain out of work until you receive your test results.

All:  Please continue with safe practices of mask wearing, social distancing and frequent hand-washing.

We request that students and staff members continue daily monitoring for symptoms of COVID-19 which could include:  fever, loss of taste or smell, headache, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, sore throat, fatigue, congestion or runny nose, body aches and/or nausea.  If these or unusual symptoms occur, please consult the school nurse or your medical provider.

Thank you for your continued efforts to remain safe.

Brian Bartalo

Superintendent of Schools
