Students returning to classes on Shelter Island on Monday are to wear masks. That’s the message from Superintendent Brian Doelger, Ed.D., that went out to the school community shortly after 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
There have been conflicting messages about whether students would have to continue to wear masks on Monday, but with no firm decision made, Shelter Island will continue its current policy.
A decision should be coming from Albany sometime on Monday, but in the meantime, the policy already in effect will remain.
Should the state decide masks aren’t necessary, Mr. Doelger will consult with Dr. Josh Potter and local officials and let parents know if masks are to remain in place.
Anticipating icy roads on Friday morning, Superintendent Brian Doelger, Ed.D., has delayed school opening until 10 a.m.
And all pre-K classes have been cancelled for Friday.
The school was closed today because of snow and windy conditions, making it the first snow day of the 2020-21 school year.
The Board of Education built two snow days into the schedule. Should more than one more snow day be necessary in what has been predicted to be a tough winter, other days when students are unable to attend in person classes will result in classes being held virtually under a provision implemented by the State Education Department for this school year only.
