Mamaroneck Reminds Students May Need To Quarantine After Vacation

MAMARONECK, NY — Families in the Mamaroneck school district returning from vacation are being reminded that students who are coming back from states where there is a significant degree of community-wide spread of the new coronavirus are expected to quarantine for 14 days upon returning to New York.

School officials said, due to the complexities around the group/pod placement process, we will not be able to accommodate a child in a fully remote learning group during their quarantine time period if the child is registered for the hybrid learning plan.

Administrators formulated groups assigned to teaching staff base on numerous factors including:

• Family preference for hybrid learning model of fully remote learning
• Honoring a.m or p.m. preference whenever possible and providing same schedule for siblings, unless requested otherwise
• Considering groups of students balanced by gender and number of students receiving special eduction services and ENL services, as well as overall group dynamics

As a a result, officials said it was critical to keep the groups intact, and making even one adjustment has a domino-like impact.

States currently on New York's travel advisory can be found on the department of health website.
