COVID Case at NCS
Dear NCS Families and Staff,
Earlier today, we were notified by Ontario County that a student in our High School had tested positive for COVID-19. The individual was last at school on Monday, February 22, and they are currently in isolation in alignment with the Department of Health guidelines.
As soon as we learned of the situation, we immediately began the contact tracing process using our camera system, interviews, attendance lists, and seating charts. Ultimately, the decision was made to quarantine 12 additional students and 1 staff member. As a result, all Girls Varsity Basketball activities have been suspended for at least 10 days.

NCS Closed Due to Snow
NCS Family,
Because of the continued snow and wind, we are going to be closed today (Wednesday, February 3, 2021). I know it looks like it might stop snowing later this morning, but because of our hills, geographic size, and commuters, I want to err on the side of caution.
Be safe and look forward to connecting soon.

Basketball to Resume on February 1
Dear High School Parents,
On Friday afternoon, New York State shared that “high risk” winter sports could resume on Monday, February 1. Although we are still working with our local Department of Health as well as regional athletic directors to identify consistent safety guidelines, we believe our boys and girls basketball athletes will be able to compete in shortened seasons over the coming weeks.
However, because of the quick planning timeline, we need your help. Before 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, we are asking High School parents to:
- Sign their son or daughter up for basketball using Family ID ( click here ) if they have not done so already. We need final participation numbers as soon as possible so that we can finalize what levels can be offered. ...

COVID Case at NCS
Dear NCS Families, Faculty, and Staff,
Earlier today, we were notified by the Ontario County Department of Health that one High School student and one student attending a program in another district tested positive for COVID-19. However, because neither of them attended classes at NCS or participated in any athletic or extracurricular activities during their infectious periods, we will continue with our normal school schedule and operations at this point in time.
Additionally, I also wanted to share that a “COVID-19 Tracker” ( click here ) has been posted to the homepage of our website under the “News & Updates” section. Each time we learn of a positive case involving students or staff members, the webpage will be updated immediately. However, beginning ...

COVID Case at NCS
Dear NCS Families, Faculty, and Staff,
Earlier today, the Naples Central School District was notified that a student in the Elementary School had tested positive for COVID-19. The student was last in school on Wednesday, January 13, and the individual is currently in isolation in alignment with Department of Health (DOH) guidelines.
After examining staff interviews, class rosters, and seating charts, we believe the DOH will be placing 6 students and 2 staff members in quarantine as a preventative measure. Additionally, to err on the side of caution, we will be transitioning the classroom cohort (not the grade level) to remote learning until Monday, January 25. All students impacted by the situation will be receiving a personal phone call from NCS with additional information. However, ...

COVID Case at NCS
Dear NCS Families, Faculty, and Staff,
Earlier today, the Naples Central School District was notified by the Ontario County Department of Health (DOH) that a staff member working in the High School had tested positive for COVID-19. The staff member was last at work on Friday, January 8, and the individual is currently in isolation in alignment with DOH guidelines.
After completing the contact tracing process, the DOH made the decision to quarantine four additional staff members working in the High School out of an abundance of caution.
Finally, as rates continue to rise in our community, I want to try to find a balance between under and over-communicating information on COVID-19 cases. Beginning next week, we will have a spot on the website that will be updated as soon as we ...

Caring for Students:
Like many of you, I had a tough time falling asleep last night after the events that transpired in our nation’s capital.

Please know, however, that today we are focused on creating safe and ...
