Dear Port Jervis Learning Community:
We were informed this morning that a student that attends ASK Elementary School tested positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19). The student last attended school on Tuesday, November 17, 2020. The students and staff that were in direct or proximate contact with the positive case were contacted by school personnel. These individuals were instructed to quarantine for 14 days from the last date of contact. Additionally, the Department of Health informed us that contact tracers may contact those that had direct or proximate contact with this individual.
Thank you for understanding the fact that due to medical privacy laws, we are not able to release the name or names of the individuals with COVID-19. We will continue to communicate changes and updates with you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Orange County Department of Health at 845-291-2330.
