SARANAC LAKE Kindergarteners through sixth-graders in the Petrova building of the Saranac Lake Central School District will go back to fully remote learning starting Monday, after a YMCA child-care worker tested positive for COVID-19.
District Superintendent Diane Fox announced the news to parents in a robocall Saturday. She said the YMCA employee had last worked at Petrova Elementary School on Thursday.
“Franklin County Public Health will conduct contact tracing and issue quarantine orders as needed,” she said.

– The district has been on a back-and-forth rollercoaster of a plan in the past month but for now kindergarten through sixth-grade is back in person with more than 100 students deciding to remain remote and seventh- through 12th-grade classes are remaining remote, with some exceptions. Saranac Lake students went remote last month after hopes of reopening were dropped as COVID-19 cases in Franklin County rose. All grade levels were supposed to return on Dec. 10, but Superintendent Diane Fox said the district does not have the transportation staff to bus all students. Kindergarten through sixth-grade students returned to the school building on Monday.
