Dear Putnam Valley Community:<\/p>\n
It appears that spring may have officially arrived. I am hopeful that everyone has had an opportunity to get outside and enjoy the nice weather over the past few days. Although this is not the spring break that everyone had expected, we hope that the distance learning assignments for this week are providing students with academic support and enrichment, while providing an opportunity to unwind and relax.\u00a0 I have highlighted a few important items below.<\/p>\n
Closure Period Extended until April 29:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Governor announced that all New York State schools are ordered to remain closed until at least April 29.\u00a0 Distance learning, meal service, and childcare for first responders essential workers will continue throughout the school closure. For families needing breakfast and lunch meals prepared by Aramark, our food service vendor, please complete this form so we can properly prepare.\u00a0 Click here<\/a>.\u00a0Meals are free as part of the NYSED Child Nutrition Program.<\/p>\n Regents Exams:<\/strong> The Board of Regents has announced the cancellation of all Regents Exams scheduled for this June.\u00a0 NYSED prepared an FAQ document to address questions that may arise as a result of this decision: http:\/\/www.nysed.gov\/common\/nysed\/files\/programs\/coronavirus\/nysed-covid-19-regents-grad-req-faq.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n All Fields Remain Closed:\u00a0<\/strong> It is imperative that we continue to heed the warning from public health care professionals and refrain from gathering in groups.\u00a0 Despite the calls for social distancing, we continue to see groups (of all ages) gathering on the district fields. As noted in previous communications, all district fields are closed, group activities are prohibited, the high school track and wellness trail remain open for individuals to walk while practicing social distancing.\u00a0 We are asking all Putnam Valley residents to please abide by these rules and keep the entire community safe.<\/p>\n Please take some time this week to thank first responders and essential workers who are out there supporting our community on a daily basis.\u00a0 Our health care systems are stressed and we must each do our part to ensure they are able to care for those who need it most.<\/p>\n Although upcoming holiday celebrations are being altered, we wish everyone peace and good health.<\/p>\n Stay well,<\/p>\n Dr. Jeremy Luft Msg. from Dr. Luft – 4\/1\/20<\/a><\/p>\n __________________<\/p>\n Estimada comunidad de Putnam Valley:<\/p>\n Parece que la primavera puede haber llegado oficialmente. Tengo la esperanza de que todos hayan tenido la oportunidad de salir y disfrutar del buen clima en los \u00faltimos d\u00edas. Aunque este no es el receso de primavera que todos esperaban, esperamos que las tareas de aprendizaje a distancia para esta semana brinden a los estudiantes apoyo acad\u00e9mico y enriquecimiento, al tiempo que brindan la oportunidad de relajarse y descansar. He resaltado algunos elementos importantes a continuaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Per\u00edodo de cierre extendido hasta el 29 de abril:<\/strong> El Gobernador anunci\u00f3 que todas las escuelas del estado de Nueva York deben permanecer cerradas hasta al menos el 29 de abril. La educaci\u00f3n a distancia, el servicio de comidas y el cuidado de los ni\u00f1os para los trabajadores esenciales de primera respuesta continuar\u00e1n durante el cierre de la escuela. Para las familias que necesitan desayunos y almuerzos preparados por Aramark, nuestro proveedor de servicios de alimentos, complete este formulario para que podamos prepararnos adecuadamente. Haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a> . Las comidas son gratuitas como parte del Programa de Nutrici\u00f3n Infantil del NYSED.<\/p>\n Ex\u00e1menes Regents:<\/strong> La Junta de Regentes ha anunciado la cancelaci\u00f3n de todos los ex\u00e1menes Regents programados para este junio. El NYSED prepar\u00f3 un documento de preguntas frecuentes para abordar las preguntas que puedan surgir como resultado de esta decisi\u00f3n: http:\/\/www.nysed.gov\/common\/nysed\/files\/programs\/coronavirus\/nysed-covid-19-regents-grad-req- faq.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n Todos los campos permanecen cerrados:<\/strong> es imperativo que sigamos escuchando la advertencia de los profesionales de la salud p\u00fablica y nos abstengamos de reunirnos en grupos. A pesar de los llamados al distanciamiento social, seguimos viendo grupos (de todas las edades) reunidos en los campos cerca de las escuelas del distrito. Como se se\u00f1al\u00f3 en comunicaciones anteriores, todos los campos — los de futbol, el \u201cBig Toy\u201d — todos\u00a0 del distrito est\u00e1n cerrados, las actividades grupales est\u00e1n prohibidas, la pista de carreras de la High School y el sendero de bienestar permanecen abiertos para que las personas caminen mientras practican el distanciamiento social. Les pedimos a todos los residentes de Putnam Valley que cumplan con estas reglas y mantengan a salvo a toda la comunidad.<\/p>\n T\u00f3mese un tiempo esta semana para agradecer a los socorristas y a los trabajadores esenciales que apoyan a nuestra comunidad a diario..Nuestros sistemas de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica est\u00e1n estresados y cada uno de nosotros debe hacer nuestra parte para garantizar que puedan atender a quienes m\u00e1s lo necesitan.<\/p>\n Aunque las pr\u00f3ximas celebraciones religiosas est\u00e1n siendo alteradas, deseamos a todos paz y buena salud.<\/p>\n Mantenerse bien,<\/p>\n Dr. Jeremy Luft<\/p>\n Superintendente de Escuelas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Putnam Valley Community: It appears that spring may have officially arrived.
