SCHOOL YEAR 2021-2022

WCSD Reopening Plan 2021-2022

Per the WCSD Reopening Plan 2021-2022:

• The CDC no longer recommends temperature screenings or screening questionnaires at or prior to school.  However, families are reminded and encouraged to be mindful of indications their children may exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 and to seek testing when such symptoms are present. The CDC maintains a list of COVID-19 symptoms on its website.  In the event that a child is exhibiting COVID like symptoms they should not attend school that day, or until symptoms subside.

Per the Dutchess County Health Department:
