Dear Holley Central School District Families and Staff,

This notice is to inform you that a Holley Middle School/High School staff member and two high school students have tested positive for COVID-19. The last day the staff member was in the district was Jan. 22. One student’s last day in school was Jan. 26 and the other student's last day in school was Jan. 29. The district is unable to legally disclose any other additional details or personal identifiable information about these individuals per the federal privacy laws.

Due to the dates these individuals were last present in school, the health department has indicated to us that there is currently no additional quarantining required of other students or staff members due to close contact with these particular cases. If anyone is contacted by the department of health due to contact with one of these individuals outside of school, please call the MS/HS nurse’s office (638-6316, ext. 5100) to report that situation. Thank you.

We recommend 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.  

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

Thank you for your continued efforts to remain safe.

Brian Bartalo

Superintendent of Schools
