Letter to Community- First week of COVID Testing
December 11, 2020
We JUST heard from Erie County (1 pm) that they are eliminating the "60 minute proximate" contact rule. This previously meant that, if a student or staff member tested positive, ALL students and staff members who were in the class with the positively tested individual would need to quarantine for 14 days.
As we have previously noted, of the 16 cases we were informed of involving staff or students, NOT ONE was transmitted in the school. So, as long as each classroom, staff member and student is following protocols, there will NOT be mandated quarantining for 14 days. Below is the letter that was sent to the community from Mr. MacSwan:

Orange Zone Update Letter from Mr. MacSwan (4:55 pm)
Update-2:20 pm---At about 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18th, Governor Cuomo placed much of Erie County in the "orange zone". As we receive more information from the Governor's Office, we will provide an update as to "what this means for Cleve Hill".
We DO know that Cleveland Hill, like any other district in the "Orange Zone" will be moving from "in-person learning" to "remote learning". Our last day of "in person" learning will be Friday, November 20th. Our first day of remote learning will be Monday, November 23rd. You WILL receive additional information by 7 pm tonight. However, this development is NOT unexpected, and we are prepared for this move. Our goal is to return students BACK to in-person learning as soon as it is safe and feasible, or allowed by the State.
That being said, COVID testing will likely be part of the requirement to return to "in-person" testing. So, if you have not filled out the Testing Consent for Students form, please click on the link below:

Consent to Test, if Randomly Selected - Today, Mr. MacSwan sent a LETTER outlining the district requirement to test students and staff, as dictated by the State and County Government. In order to stay open, in the "yellow zone", 20% of our staff and students need to be tested on a weekly basis. The link below will direct you to a form that will allow you to express your wishes regarding your choices for your children (whether to allow testing or not). We are looking to collect responses from ALL families. Prior to making your decision, please read Mr. MacSwan's letter carefully.

As you know, most of Erie County was placed in the "Yellow Zone" by the Governor.With that, testing requirements have been put in place, if a district attempts to continue any sort of '"in-person" learning. As per the Governor, any students who refuse to test will NOT be allowed to attend "in-person" school.While more information is coming from Erie County and State, we have been informed as to the "type" of test we will be provided. Below is a video link, one minute in duration, that demonstrates the test (fortunately, it is NOT the test that tickles your brain)November 9, 2020
This morning we were notified that the Cleveland Hill UFSD has been placed in a yellow zone. In previous communications, we outlined that schools in yellow zones must test 20% of their students and staff participating in in-person instruction. At this time, in conjunction with Erie County and the Erie County Department of Health we are gathering information on what further steps need to be taken. We know that these are trying times and we are committed to keeping you informed as soon as we receive information.

The purpose will be to ensure that the lines of communication between the home and school are open and flowing. During this Q & A, questions about the reopening of schools, health and safety measures and protocols, and the different learning models that we might see implemented during the 20 - 21 school year will be addressed. Below are the links for EACH of the buildings. Please submit any questions by Monday, August 17th.

Distance Learning Option for Immuno-compromised/Anxious Families:
For families that are anxious about returning to school (or immuno-compromised):
The district is providing an opportunity to sign up for FULL Distance Learning. Understand that registration for the program commits your child (or children) to MINIMALLY a full marking period. If familes would like their child to return to Hybrid (or full attendance, if/when that occurs), the transition would occur at the end of a quarter (MS or HS) or a trimester (ES). Details of the Full Distance Learning Option were in the letter send on August 11th. If you do NOT complete this form, it indicates you plan on sending your child into school, on September 8th, to participate in the hybrid model.
Electronic registration for Full Distance Learning was closed on August 17th at 9 pm. We have begun to align students with teachers. If you are interested in registering in Full Distance Learning, call the Main Office of your child's building.

NYS School Reopening Guidance
On Monday, July 13, 2020, Governor Cuomo shared the plan for reopening NYS schools for the 2020-2021 school year. The decision to reopen is based on a formula that uses current COVID-19 data. The reopening formula only provides for areas in Phase IV with a daily infection rate of 5% or lower over a 14 day average. After the Governor’s August 1-7 decision to open a school is made, the decision could be reversed if a spike occurs and the daily infection rate is above 9% over a seven day average.
Additionally, the NYSED’s School Reopening Guidance Document was provided as guidance to school districts as they develop their mandatory reopening plans – whether instruction occurs in person, remotely, or in some combination of the two.
The Cleveland Hill Union Free School District has been working on reopening plans for several weeks in advance of this guidance. Reopening committees, at the building and district levels, will convene in the month of July and dissect the NYSED’s School Reopening Guidance Document to ensure all aspects of the guidance are addressed. During these stakeholder workshops, the results of the recent regional parent/student/staff survey will be shared and processed. The survey results have already been posted online.
The final plan will include protocols for health and safety, nutrition, facilities, transportation, social emotional well-being, attendance, technology and connectivity, teaching and learning, special education, English as a second language, and staffing.
When plans are finished and include the mandatory elements outlined in the NYSED’s School Reopening Guidance Document, they must be posted on the Cleveland Hill website. Districts must provide these plans and live links to NYSED by July 31, 2020.
Updates on the progress of these plans will be shared in the Superintendent’s email updates and here on the district website.
