Oneida City School District

On Tuesday, January 19, 2021, students will resume their typical learning schedule. The building principals will communicate specific information regarding the hybrid schedule. We ask that our community members, students and staff remain vigilant with CDC recommendations of masking, socially distancing and washing hands frequently. We also want to urge all families to keep your children home from school if they are ill or answer yes to any question on the health screener.

On behalf of the Oneida City School District, we hope you and your families are remaining safe and doing your best to follow guidance regarding measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 within our community. Events have continued to unfold, and we recognize that this raises questions about potential impacts on students, families and our full community.

As the Oneida Reopening Advisory Committee considers options for reopening our buildings in the future, one model the committee is collecting data on is synchronous instruction. The Committee is asking that you take a few minutes to consider and record your thoughts on this model of instruction and complete the following ThoughtExchange.

District staff spent Monday deep cleaning Otto Shortell Middle School and Oneida High School and prepared documentation for the Department of Health to begin contact tracing. Custodial/ maintenance staff and administrative/office staff went above and beyond for the district.

Today, the District was notified that a student at Oneida High School has tested positive for COVID-19. Additionally, the student who tested positive has a sibling in the home who attends Otto Shortell Middle School. District officials in conjunction with the County Health Departments immediately began their investigation, which is ongoing. The District is not permitted due to privacy laws to identify the student involved and we have provided as much information as possible.

This week, Superintendent Mary-Margaret Zehr accepted a position in another school district and will be leaving Oneida in a few months. In the four years she has led this district, Mrs. Zehr has made a tremendous impact on students, staff and our educational programs.

In the past six months, we have worked tirelessly to follow the NYSDOH and NYSED guidelines to open our buildings to staff and students. We are thrilled to have students return to our schools. School districts are now being asked to make a local decision of determining if and how to begin athletics given the current guidelines and requirements. ​ The District has over 20% of our students learning virtually due to concerns with health, safety, and COVID-19. Additionally, we are still unable to have 100% of our high school students in attendance each day, and it is considered unsafe to have a bus operate at full capacity. The District is approaching the decision regarding the start of athletics with the same health and safety concerns we applied in determining our modes of instruction.

The attached document from the Superintendent provides additional guidance about the first day of school, athletics, staying home when sick and communication.

The OCSD seeks parent feedback as we plan for what learning will look like in the fall. To gather this feedback, we are utilizing a tool called Thoughtexchange. You are asked to respond to one open-ended question, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others (20 or 30 is ideal), and learn what’s important to the group. Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you’d like to participate, and in fact, we ask that you do return to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on for planning for instruction in the fall.

On behalf of the Oneida City School District, we hope you and your families are remaining safe and doing your best to follow guidance regarding measures to re-open our state and county. We are committed to communicating information as it becomes available. Thank you to our parents and families that have helped their children and our teachers to continue learning this spring!! It is this partnership and teamwork that makes Oneida such a wonderful community. It is my hope that you will find time this summer to reconnect with family and friends, recharge, relax and rest!

Q: Why do we have to vote by absentee ballot this year? A: Due to the pandemic, Governor Cuomo issued Executive Order 202.26 on May 1, 2020, which formally moved the annual school district election to June 9, 2020. For the first time ever, the entire election must take place “remotely” and all voters will vote by absentee ballot.

The exchange program has provided opportunities for all students involve to learn about new cultures value international collaborations, and broaden perspectives. We continue to value our partnership with Shuri High School. The district has decided the Japanese exchange program with Shuri High School in Okinawa, Japan will be put on hold this spring. Due to the uncertainty around the most recent CDC alert level 2 for the coronavirus in Japan (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/alert/coronavirus-japan) , we have decided that we will work with our Japanese counterpart to reschedule their trip to Oneida High School to a different date.

At the Board of Education meeting, earlier this week, I proposed a change to the structure of the current administration of the Oneida City School District. As a school district, we have seen a decline in enrollment and a dramatic increase of students and families that need various support services including academic, social, emotional, health, and welfare needs. There is no single administrative staff member focusing on social emotional learning, career/college readiness, school climate/student engagement, and attendance programs throughout the district- K-12. With this proposed structure, the district would eliminate the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction position and replace it with the district wide position of Administrator for Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment.

As part of a required school health examination, your child is weighed and his/her height is measured. These numbers are used to determine a student's body mass index or 'BMI'. The BMI helps the doctor or nurse know if a student's weight is in a healthy range or is too high or too low. Recent changes to the New York State Education Law require that BMI and weight status group be included as part of a student's school health examination. Oneida City School District was selected to take part in the 2017-2018 survey by the New York State Department of Health.
