Dear NAC Families,

The Northern Adirondack Central School District was informed that two individuals from our school community have been identified as testing positive for COVID-19.

Here’s what we know:

• One individual is a student who last attended on Monday, October 25, 2021.
• The second individual is a staff member who also las attended on Monday, October 25, 2021.
• The individuals were present in the Elementary School building.
• The student rode bus #77.
• Students and employees who were in close contact and are unvaccinated will receive an official quarantine order on behalf of the Clinton County Health Department from a Northern Adirondack CSD staff member, but have already been or will be notified by school personnel
• Students and employees who were in close contact and are vaccinated may have already or will receive an email from a member of the Northern Adirondack Central School District staff with the suggestions from the CCHD
• The Northern Adirondack Central School District has provided the Clinton County Health Department with all pertinent information regarding students and staff who are designated to have been in close proximity contact to the positive individuals.  Only the Clinton County Health Department can conduct contact tracing – the Clinton County Health Department will contact parents/families and staff under normal circumstances, however we as the School District have been asked to deliver the Official Quarantine Paperwork via email starting with any new cases after, Friday, September 17, 2021.
• Northern Adirondack will continue to offer in-person instruction for all of those students who are not under a quarantine or isolation order.
• It is important to know that the Clinton County Health Department has updated the Isolation and Quarantine Guidelines for the 2021 – 2022 School Year, and there are different outcomes based on vaccination status.

Thank you for your cooperation,

James C. Knight, Jr.

Superintendent of Schools
