There is no quarantine required for domestic travel as of April 1. This includes travel to US territories.
Mandatory quarantine is still in effect for international travel.

If you travel to another country, after arrival in the US, you must quarantine for 7 days with a test 3- 5 days after travel or quarantine for 10 full days without a test.This applies to all international travelers whether you were tested before boarding, are recovered from a previous Covid infection, or are fully vaccinated.

If a parent or someone in your household test positive for Covid, your child must remain home for 10 full days. They are considered a close contact. Please do not send them to school and quarantine them when they get home. They will be released from quarantine by the Department of Health. We will need a copy of that letter.
A negative Covid test does not release you from quarantine.


If your child has had a Covid test , they can not return to school until you get the test results. If the result is negative, he or she may return to school if their symptoms are improving AND are fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication. A doctor's note is required indicating the test was negative or a copy of the negative test result.

If your child has been quarantined or isolated due to Covid by the Department of Health, we need the letter releasing your child you will receive from the Department of Health. If the Department of Health has quarantined or isolated your child  he or she cannot return without that release. A negative Covid test does not release you from quarantine.

Masks with valves and neck gators are not allowed at OLH.

If your child has an injury or medical issue that prevents them from participating in PE class, they may not participate in recess or any other physical activities. All children need a doctors note to be excused from PE. They also need a note to return. Parent notes are not acceptable.

Please note, New York State now has new forms for physical exams. All schools are required to use them. NO physical can be accepted unless it on the New York State form. I can accept an electronic form. The forms will be posted on the website. 
I will have to send the physical back if it is not on the appropriate form. 

Just a reminder- no food celebrations or treats in the classrooms. we ask please no candy or soda in your child's lunchbox.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me.
Thank you for your cooperation.
