Dear Parents and Guardians,
This school year continues to be a challenging one for all of us. Our goal remains to keep the district open for in-person instruction. To that end, we have been following all of the proper protocols including temperature checks, health screenings, social distancing, mask wearing, and hand washing.
The protocols we put in place at the start of the school year have been effective in controlling the spread of the virus in our schools. As the number of COVID-19 cases in our area continues to increase, it is important that we remain vigilant and follow all of the protocols in our reopening plan.
With the increase in cases in our community, we will begin posting a daily update on our website. This will take the place of the emails that have been sent each time we are made aware of a positive case. We will update the website at the end of each school day, between 3:00 - 4:00p.m. with the day’s information.
If there is a situation that will impact in-person learning, detailed information will be sent via a robocall, email, text message, and posts to our website and on social media. If there is a situation that requires anyone to quarantine, those individuals will be notified directly by the district and Warren County Public Health.
I would like to again take this opportunity to remind everyone to wear a mask, wash your hands, maintain social distancing and avoid large gatherings.
If you have any questions regarding our safety protocols please contact the district office at 518-623-2861. If you have any questions about COVID-19 please contact Warren County Public Health at (518)761-6580.
Sincerely,
John Goralski
Superintendent of Schools

Today, there were no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 associated with the Warrensburg Central School District.
It is very important that families continue to follow these safety protocols:
- •Always wear a mask that covers both the mouth and nose when you are out of your home or if someone from outside your household visits your home.
- •Wash hands with soap and water frequently when out of your home. If you cannot use soap and water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- •Don’t touch the eyes, nose or mouth unless your hands are clean.
With the rise in local and county infection rates, we continue to monitor the COVID-19 positive cases that affect our school district on a daily basis. If your child is sick, in quarantine or has tested positive for COVID-19, please keep the district informed.
Contact your medical provider if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, congestion or runny nose.
Do not come to school if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above. In addition, if an individual in your household is symptomatic and is awaiting the results of a COVID test, please do not send your child to school.
If you or your child are experiencing symptoms, contact your health care provider immediately. COVID-19 testing information is available by calling the New York State Department of Health COVID-19 Hotline at (888) 364-3065 or on the Warren County Department of Public Health website.
