Important Msg. from Superintendent - Oct. 24

October 24, 2020

Dear Valley Stream CHSD Community:

Over the weekend, the district was notified of a second confirmed case of COVID-19 at Central High School. As a result, and out of an abundance of caution, Central will be moving from our current hybrid instruction model to a full remote learning model, effective Monday, October 26. We plan on reopening the building for in-person, hybrid instruction on Monday, November 9. Hybrid learning will continue at Memorial, North and South.

The district must follow guidance from the Nassau County Department of Health and does not make the decision to close the buildings. Fortunately, as part of our planning over the summer months, we are prepared for this scenario and are ready to immediately make the transition to remote learning.

We are taking this action to protect the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. It is our hope to be able to return to our hybrid learning model. This will depend on the guidance we receive from the Nassau County Department of Health.

I would like to thank you for your continued cooperation as we navigate through these challenging times.

Sincerely,


Bill Heidenreich, Ed.D.
