The survey sent home was to get an idea of who would want to go full virtual as an option. There would still be in-person instruction on the appropriate Cohort Days, but some parents may choose to place their children in a full remote option. In-person instruction would continue as is. The survey is for informational purposes. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdS44R1orI5eguXX7qgMk_m5xgk4u2Ki8lzBqOeL_RpxuJclQ/viewform

The District is considering providing students in grades 7-12 an option to participate in a full virtual program. This would entail students to participate daily in their current assigned schedule via Google Meet every day school is in session. After receiving input from our parents, teachers, administrative team, and Board of Education, a decision will be made. By filling out this survey, you will be assisting us in this decision making process. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdS44R1orI5eguXX7qgMk_m5xgk4u2Ki8lzBqOeL_RpxuJclQ/viewform

We hope you had a happy, healthy and relaxing holiday break. It has come to our attention that there is some confusion regarding the Cohort A and Cohort B indicators that are listed on the calendar in the parent and student portal. Please note that the cohort indicators listed in the eSchool parent and student portals indicate the students that are working remotely from home. Please refer to the link on the district website "HS Cohort Calendar" under Student Resources for a schedule of the days students should be attending for in person instruction. This week, students assigned to Cohort A are scheduled to be attending school in person on Monday and Tuesday and students assigned to Cohort B are scheduled to attend school in person on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

12/10/20 Dear NBHS Families, The District was notified that two students at NBHS have tested positive for COVID-19. They will quarantine for the required time frame as determined by the Department of Health guidelines. All students and staff have been notified if they are required to quarantine due to this case. If you have not received a call from a North Babylon School District Official, you have not been identified as a close contact of the individual. The District follows the Department of Health (DOH) guidelines to determine a close contact which is defined as any individual who is less than 6 feet apart from the positive case for more than 10 minutes over a 24 hour time period. We consistently remain in contact with the Suffolk County Department of Health and will continue to follow all necessary protocols and guidance to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff. We continue to follow CDC recommended guidelines for deep cleaning affected areas. As a reminder, the symptoms of COVID-19 are similar to the regular seasonal influenza and include fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. Some people have reported additional symptoms, such as a runny nose, sore throat, nausea, lethargy, lack of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. If any student or employee begins to display any of these symptoms, please contact a medical provider. Again, the health and safety of our students, staff, and faculty are of the utmost importance. We thank you for the partnership. Stay Well! Glen A. Eschbach Superintendent Download Letters English Spanish
