Superintendent's Update #6
January 2, 2023
Dear CCSD Parents and Staff,
I hope this email finds you well after a restful break with your families. As we begin preparations for opening tomorrow, I would like to take an opportunity to share our COVID procedures to ensure we open as safely as possible in this new year.
Please take note of the following procedures for all CCSD staff and students:
CCSD Students & Staff Who Tested Positive for COVID-19 During Break
- Parents must notify the building principal and school nurse, in writing, if their child tested positive for COVID-19 (the nurses will respond to emails on Tuesday 1/03/23). Students/staff who are positive for COVID-19 are not permitted to attend school on days 1-5 of isolation.
- Students/staff who are COVID-19 positive will be permitted to access remote instruction via zoom while in isolation.
- Students/staff will be cleared to return to school through our attestation process. The student attestation form can be accessed here. The staff attestation form can be accessed here.
- After a positive COVID-19 test, students/staff who are cleared to return to school must wear a mask while inside on days 6-10. These individuals will sit six feet from peers at lunch, inside, unless they test out of masking.
- CCSD athletes must receive medical clearance before returning to sports if they are diagnosed with COVID-19 after their annual physical exam.

Mask Flexibility for Those Who Test Positive for COVID-19
With two negative tests 48 hours apart, people may remove their masks sooner than day 10. These results will be sent directly to the school nurse for verification. The first day a person may begin the test out process is day 6.

We continue to have COVID-19 antigen tests available throughout the District at the security stations for your use.
As always, thank you for your support and understanding. We look forward to seeing our students on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.
Sincerely,
Christine Ackerman
Superintendent of Schools
Chappaqua Central School District
