IMPORTANT UPDATE
January 25, 2022
Dear MDP Community,
There may be some confusion due to the media coverage regarding the litigation of the NY State Dept. of Health mask mandate in schools. At this time masks continue to be required in Martin De Porres as a reasonable and integral part of our mitigation strategies against COVID-19.
Martin De Porres will continue to align our health and safety policies to reflect the most current CDC and New York State Department of Health guidelines for K-12 schools. The New York State Department of Health and the New York State Education Department continue to recommend indoor masking policies to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, make schools safer for their students and staff, and to keep schools open for in-person instruction.
We appreciate your continued support! Please feel free to contact me at 516-502-2840 if you have any questions.
