Attendance
All students are required to attend every class in which they are enrolled. Excessive absences may jeopardize their participation in the end-of-year show and promotion for the following year.

COVID Mitigation Strategies for the 2022-2023 School Year
Quarantine
Staying Home When Sick or Symptomatic
Isolation
-If someone had no symptoms, isolation may end after day five.
-If someone had symptoms, isolation may end after day five if they are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and symptoms are improving.
-People should wear a mask through day 10 after ending isolation when they are feeling better (no fever without use of fever-reducing medication and symptoms improving).
-Antigen testing is not required to end isolation; however, some schools may allow use of the " test-based strategy" to potentially shorten the length of time for post-isolation mask use.
This builds upon New York's rigorous, multi-faceted approach in managing and mitigating COVID-19.
