First and foremost, thank you for your patience and support during the first couple of months of school as we reopened under very unusual conditions.  As you know, Lockport’s school reopening plan included both a HYBRID LEARNING MODEL and a FULL REMOTE LEARNING MODEL. At this time, the Lockport City School District learning models (Hybrid and Full Remote) will remain the same until further notice. 

PRE-K to GRADE 12 COVID TOOLKITS for Parents/Students and Staff: Released Thursday, October 1, 2020 by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and the Niagara County Department of Health (NCDOH). Please use these toolkits to determine if your child or a staff member should go to school or work, and when a child or staff member is ready to return to school or work after symptoms/illness.

Per the Niagara County Department of Health, any student presenting with any symptoms of COVID-19 must be evaluated by a medical professional and secure a negative COVID test, documented in writing and submitted to the school nurse, prior to returning to school. Parents/legal guardians may not refuse to seek medical evaluation and/or a COVID test if they would like to return to school. Students who are ill may be authorized to continue to work remotely after review by school administration.

If your child was diagnosed with illness other than COVID, the following conditions must be met in order to return to school: Medical evaluation and completed documentation by physician, negative COVID test result (documented in writing), and your child has been fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.

On Tuesday, September 8, 2020, Governor Cuomo announced that the state Department of Health created a dashboard system for schools to send the state information on the district's teaching model, the district's onsite and off site enrollment, and the number of possible COVID cases in a school. The purpose of the dashboard is to display real time data points to the school community on a daily basis, and to use the data for making decisions on school closings and reopenings. The dashboard is located at schoolcovidreportcard.health.ny.gov for your review.

This is a reminder that due to COVID-19 all district buildings, playgrounds, and athletic facilities are CLOSED for usage by the community and students until further notice.
