COVID-19 TESTING
A few points to remember:
- If anyone in your household has a test result for COVID-19 pending, please keep your student(s) home until you receive the test result(s). During this time, we require remote attendance for students.
- If you have a student with symptoms, they cannot attend school until the doctor has cleared them. During this time, they may participate in remote learning if they are well enough to do so.
- If anyone in your household tests positive for COVID-19, you will be required to provide the district with quarantine/isolation orders as well as the release date before your student(s) will be permitted to attend school in person.
We ask that every family please adhere to these guidelines to help protect others' health and safety. Thank you in advance for your consideration and cooperation.

Parent Email for student COVID screening
COVID Screening FormPlease provide a working email address for the student COVID screening. Each parent will have to answer a series of COVID questions and record their child's temperature on the days they physically attend school. If you have more than one child, please list all children in this form. The district needs to compile parent emails so that they can be entered in the Operoo (Care Monkey) application that the district will use for the COVID screening tool. All emails will be kept confidential. Once the Operoo (Care Monkey) application has been submitted, you will receive an email from Operoo (Care Monkey) with your username and password. Please create your account before Thursday, September 10. This screening process is in accordance with DOH and NYS guidelines. -

Mission Statement
-
It is the overall mission of the Alfred-Almond Central School District to prepare each individual to live successfully in a world of rapid change, and to grow from dependence to independence. Development of self-discipline and readiness to accept responsibility for one's actions are essential characteristics of that growth.
Our school system will provide an equal opportunity for each Alfred-Almond student to be challenged to the fullest extent of his or her ability and to assure that all students will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them to become productive members of society.
This mission is best accomplished when school personnel maintain high expectations for all students, create a positive school climate, ensure a safe and orderly school environment, monitor student progress on a frequent basis, and promote effective home-school communication.
The school system shares the responsibility for accomplishing this mission with the family and community.
