District Extends School Closures: Middle School and High School Will Remain CLOSED to Students Through Tuesday, December 8, 2020.
K-6 schools remain open for in-person instruction at this time.
Central York School District will extend the closure of Central York High School and Central York Middle School to students through Tuesday, December 8, 2020, due to the number of positive COVID-19 cases at both schools.
This extension of our closure of the secondary schools is an attempt to prevent the continued spread of COVID-19 within our schools and facilities and in accordance with the Pennsylvania Department of Health recommendations. At this time, students will return to the middle school and high school on Wednesday, December 9, 2020.
During this time, please note the following:
- Central York Middle School and Central York High School will continue remote instruction for students during this extension of the school closures.
- Faculty and staff should report to Central York High School and Central York Middle School as planned on November 30. Any staff who are quarantined should observe the current quarantine until it is completed.
- Winter athletics will be postponed until December 9, 2020.
- Parents and guardians should continue reporting COVID-19 cases to the high school and middle school during this closure. This will enable us to track cases and be aware of our impacted students throughout this time.
- Students will follow their normal bell schedules as if they were in school for in-person instruction. Students who are already participating in remote learning should follow their normal schedules.
- All K-6 schools are open and will continue to offer in-person instruction at this time.
- The CYSD School Board will hold a virtual public meeting on December 7 and will discuss the new guidance issued by the state and its impact on our schools going forward.
We would like to thank our families for your continued support of Central York School District. We believe that being in school is what’s best for our learners, and we hope to reopen safely to continue providing in-person instruction for our CYHS students. We will continue to work with the Department of Health on how to best prevent the in-school spread of COVID-19, and will keep you informed of any and all changes to our schedule or operations as they occur.
We wish you a safe and healthy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Julie Randall Romig
Director of Communications
