Grades 8-12 Instructional Model Survey:
Onondaga County is currently considering revising the physical distancing requirements that schools must follow. This could give Skaneateles CSD the ability to provide in-person instruction for grades 8-12 five days per week. In order to plan, we need to know how many students in grades 8-12 would attend in-person instruction 5 days per week. Remote instruction will remain available to families who prefer that option.
Parents of students in grades 8-12 are asked to complete a survey by Sunday, February 28. The survey can be found here.

Superintendent Knuth's Letter to the Community- 2/2/2021:
February 2, 2021
Dear Skaneateles family,
We are so excited to begin to see restrictions lifted throughout our region. This week we began to offer expanded in-person opportunities for our students including the addition of student activities and the start of athletics.

On Monday of this week, we learned of an infection at our high school that resulted in seven teachers, a teaching assistant, and 63 students being placed into mandatory 10-day quarantine due to exposure.
