ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) This pandemic has been mentally and emotionally challenging for all of us, but especially for students.
While COVID-19 case numbers continue to surge in our region, school and health officials are re-emphasizing the need to be mindful of social-emotional wellbeing in kids. The amount that COVID has been in the headlines really misrepresents how much I think about all the other aspects of social-emotional health, particularly pertaining to kids in our K-12 schools, Monroe County Dept. of Health Commissioner Dr. Michael Mendoza said.
Mendoza joined Superintendents Kathleen Graupman, Mary Grow, and Jo Anne Antonacci on an ACT for Education Zoom call Thursday, where they discussed how they addressed social-emotional needs in students during the fall semester, and stressed the need to stay vigilant about mental health concerns going forward.

GREECE, N.Y. The Greece Central School District is asking for parents help in quickly testing out of orange zone requirements.
This part of the orange zone in Greece may not look very big, but three schools fall within that area: Greece Olympia, Odyssey Academy, and Buckman Heights Elementary.
Those three schools are going all remote through next Wednesday.
In a letter sent home to Greece parents, the district says it wants to test out by next week, and is asking parents to fill out a consent form for rapid testing of students.
