We are working incredibly hard to remain open for our families that have elected in-person instruction. As COVID cases around the city and country continue to rise, we must remain diligent in our practices to keep Cooke students, staff, and families safe. As the holiday season approaches, this means a close look at our traditional rituals and routines.
We cannot tell families not to gather for the holidays. We do ask that you consider your decisions carefully and limit interactions to your household pod. Remember that your child's classroom is part of your pod and each contact outside of the household connects with the whole group. If your family decides to gather and take the risk, please follow the CDC's recommendations of mask-wearing, social distancing, and remaining outdoors as much as possible. We know these sacrifices are heartbreaking during such a challenging year, but it is the only way we can continue to open Cooke's doors and minimize the back and forth transitions throughout this winter. If your family does travel or gather with members outside of your household, we ask that you follow the New York State Health guidelines of quarantining and receiving a negative COVID test before returning to school. These continue to be tough times, but it does feel that there is light in the times ahead. For the safety of all of the Cooke staff and fellow classmates, please follow these restrictions carefully. For travelers who were out-of-state for more than 24 hours:
