Nyack Students Return To Classrooms Fulltime On Monday

NYACK, NY — Students in the Nyack schools will return to classrooms full-time on Monday.

"While we are confident in the safe return to a five-day, in-person learning option for students within the new guidelines, we will continue to adapt our plans and protocols as new information emerges," Superintendent James J. Montesano wrote in a letter to parents.

The district will provide remote instruction for families who opted not to return full time.

Several changes to the routine are due to pandemic protocols.

For example, parents must fill out a Daily Health Screening Questionnaire for each child before entering their school building each day.

Also, in an effort to assist with traffic congestion and maintaining social distancing, the district's three elementary schools will institute staggered arrival and dismissal times.

Elementary Arrival Times

• Grades K-2*: 8:45am arrival
• Grades 3-5*: 9:00am arrival

*Car riders and walkers only. Bus pick-up schedules will remain at their current times

Elementary Dismissal Times

• Kindergarten Walkers & Car Riders: 2:45pm
• Grades 1-5 Walkers: 2:50pm
• Grades 1-5 Car Riders: 2:55pm
• Grades K-5 Bus Riders: 3:15pm
