After dismissal, the District was notified of a positive student COVID-19 case in our Middle School.  We have been in contact with the Department of Health and have begun contact tracing procedures. Students or staff members that were in contact with this student will receive a separate correspondence and a possible quarantine from the Department of Health.  The investigation is ongoing so please be mindful of your interactions this weekend . Wear a mask, social distance and practice proper hygiene.  When the Department of Health gives us a determination we will provide you with an update. 

This morning the Port Jefferson School District was notified that a student at the elementary school tested positive for COVID-19. Following our procedures and protocols and guidance from the Department of Health, the elementary school is closed today for distance learning.  We will be disinfecting the building and working to conduct contact tracing.  Thank you for your patience and understanding, we will update you as we learn more information.
