MOST RECENT COVID-19 UPDATES FROM THE TUXEDO UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICRT
Posted April 27, 2022
Dear Parents,
We are seeing an increased number of COVID-19 cases in the Tuxedo UFSD. Due to the increase, we are encouraging parents to have their children wear masks over the next two weeks to decrease the spread, especially if you were contacted by the District Nurse for a potential exposure. As a reminder, students should be kept home from school if they are displaying any COVID-19 related symptoms.
I hope you are all safe, well, and taking good care as we finally enter spring. My top priority continues to be getting our district the access to vaccines it desperately needs. I’m delighted to share that a permanent, state-run vaccine site is coming to Orange County at the SUNY Orange campus in Middletown. It remains urgent that a state site be established in Rockland County, something I'm continuing to push for every day.
Simply put: I made it clear to state officials that I would not rest until west-of-Hudson was provided with an accessible rollout of the vaccine. As one of the highest impacted regions in the state, this announcement was a long time coming and the culmination of countless discussions with the state. I continue pushing feverishly for a state vaccine site to open in Rockland County, and recently co-sponsored a bill that would mandate the state to do so.
I know things continue to change rapidly and I will continue to keep everyone posted. Below you’ll find a comprehensive breakdown of the latest vaccine updates. Of course, my office is always here if you need our assistance. Call us at 845-567-1270 or send an email to skoufis@nysenate.gov
