COVID INCREASE IN SCHOOLS: Once again, we are seeing an increase in COVID cases in our schools. Students and staff alike are testing positive on a daily basis. The latest variant causes illness from mild to severe. Please continue to monitor your child’s health and do not send them to school if they have symptoms! We will send a student home who has symptoms as we want to limit the spread in the schools. We need to take care of each other. Staying home when sick, wearing a mask, and avoiding crowded situations are all personal mitigation measures that can help! If you need an antigen test, please see your school nurse.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! BUDGET RE-VOTE TUESDAY APRIL 26: The OVUUSD budget was defeated in March with fewer than a third of the usual voter turn out. Why? Perhaps because voters did not realize that Brandon and Pittsford mailed municipal ballots and the schools, by law, were not allowed to do the same. We need your help! The new vote for a slightly reduced budget will take place on April 26, 2022 (see below, you can vote early!). A virtual informational session will take place on April 25 at 6:30 pm. Please spread the word far and wide! Show up and be heard- vote! YOU CAN VOTE EARLY: Later this week, town offices will have the official ballots ready and you can go into your town office and vote early or you can request an absentee ballot if you don’t prefer to vote in person. We will notify you when walk-in voting is available.
