Yellow Zone Test Results Summary: Since Lockport City School District has tested over 20% of the required population and the district positivity rate percentage is below the regional positivity rate percentage, the in-person hybrid instructional model will resume for students and staff on Monday, January 11, 2021. However, as we continue to manage the COVID-19 pandemic and monitor staff coverage concerns in each school building, a shift to the full remote instructional model could occur on a building by building basis.

Thank you for participating in the yellow zone testing process. No further yellow zone testing is required at this time. Please remember to wear a face covering, practice social distancing, wash your hands frequently, and monitor your health regularly. Stay safe and be well.
