COVID-19 Update
Throughout the pandemic, our COVID-19 Safe Return Committee has worked behind the scenes to keep our school community as safe as possible. This committee is comprised of parents, and members of our staff and Board of Trustees. In early March, the committee met and agreed to continue to follow CDC guidance regarding masking.
Masks are now optional for all students, staff, parents and visitors. This decision is based on the fact that York County currently falls within the low Community Level according to new CDC data. If your children feel safer wearing masks at school, they are welcomed and encouraged to do so. Please talk with them and make the best choice for your family.
Please continue to monitor your children for COVID-19 symptoms using our Daily Screening Tool and keep them home if they are sick.
In certain cases, masking may be required if there is a positive case or known exposure, and our nurses will contact families individually. As always, make sure to notify them of any COVID-related concerns. Our nurses will also continue to offer free testing at school, as needed.
The Safe Return Committee will continue to monitor state and federal guidance, and local data. If York County experiences an increase in community level, mitigation efforts will be implemented for the safety of our York Academy family.
