Dear Sherburne-Earlville
Community,
I was advised today that one of
our employees has tested positive for COVID-19. We have been in contact with
the Chenango County Health Department to conduct an investigation and contact
any staff or community members who may have been exposed.
News like this can be received
with mixed emotions from our community. As always, the safety and health of our
students and staff are our top priority. We continue to work to support our
students, families, and employees during this difficult time and appreciate
your cooperation.

COVID-19, please contact:

If you or a family member are exhibiting
COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath), please do not go to the
emergency room or your health care provider without calling first. They will
provide you with further guidance.
Please remember that social
distancing and good hygiene are our best defenses against Coronavirus. Stay
home and do not go out in public unless you have to.
We know this time may be
