Dear Nanuet School District Community,  

At 1 p.m. today, Rockland County Executive Ed Day declared a State of Emergency relating to Coronavirus (COVID-19) through April 15, 2020. At the same time, the County Executive signed an Executive Order suspending all public and private school classes and activities for a period of two weeks. As a result, all Nanuet Schools will be engaging in “at home” learning through at least Tuesday, March 31, 2020. We expect that two weeks from now, County Executive Day will sign another Order closing schools for an additional five days, and thereafter for him to sign additional Orders until the State of Emergency ends.

It is our understanding that the Executive Order closing schools may be extended based on conditions in Rockland County and guidance from the Rockland County Department of Health, the New York State Department of Health, the New York State Education Department and/or Governor Cuomo.

The Nanuet School District will continue to update parents, guardians and students via email, text message and other mass notifications. During the coming weeks, we encourage frequent visits to our official website www.nanuetsd.org where critical information on schedules, programs and supports will be updated regularly.      

We understand that any school closure can be a hardship for our students and their families.   Our administrative teams have been working around-the-clock to develop plans for home access to instructional materials and nutritional/meal services, as well as other critical student supports during the closure.  

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our students, staff and communities safe. When and if the Executive Order is extended, I will communicate that to the community as soon as possible.  

With gratitude,  

Kevin R. McCahill, Ed. D.  

Superintendent of Schools
