Boosters required for 12+ students to avoid quarantine, miss sports

Dear Parents and Guardians:

We received an important update from the NYS Department of Health today, Jan. 11, 2022:

A booster-eligible student playing sports, acting in the musical, participating in a club, etc. will not be allowed to participate in those activities for 5 days after a COVID exposure if they have NOT received their booster.

This means that if your student has a close exposure to a COVID positive person, and they are vaccinated but not boosted, they must sit out all extra-curricular activities (games, practices, activities, events) for five days. Read the NYSDOH letter here.

We are holding a booster clinic here at Glens Falls Middle School TOMORROW from 3-5:30 p.m. To register your child for a booster vaccine, please click this link:
