Dear RCSD Community,
For the time being, I will be sending out one notification of positive cases to the community each night, rather than sending individual school notifications. As a reminder, you can see the complete log of notifications on the COVID page of the District’s website.
The District was informed today of the following individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19:
- 10 individuals at Rye High School – three were last in school December 17, two on December 20, and five on December 21 – no additional school-related contract tracing or quarantines required
- 6 individuals at Rye Middle School – one last in school on December 17, three on December 20, and two on December 21 – 5 out of 6 cases resulted in no quarantines – contact tracing for the 6th case is underway
- 1 individual at Midland School – last in school on December 17 – no additional school-related contract tracing or quarantines required
- 2 individuals at Milton School – One last in school on December 17, and one last in school on December 20 – no additional school-related contract tracing or quarantines required
- 5 individuals at Osborn School – one last in school on December 10, and four last in school on December 21 – no additional school-related contract tracing or quarantines required
The individuals are currently in quarantine. Due to federal health privacy laws, additional information about the individuals cannot be released.
Please be assured that we will continue to do everything in our power to keep the Rye City School District community safe.
Sincerely,
Eric Byrne, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
