2021-22 school reopening plans
As the situation regarding COVID-19 evolves, the Fayetteville-Manlius School District continues to monitor all guidance from local, state and federal agencies.
While the district awaits receiving 2021-22 school reopening guidance from local and state officials, F-M leaders are anticipating and planning for a full return to in-person learning five days-a-week for K-12 students starting in September 2021.
The district expects some COVID-19 protocols will likely remain in place for the 2021-22 school year, depending upon on what guidance is released.
Remote instruction
In the event an official order requires the district to offer remote instruction during the upcoming school year, it has been decided that Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES and its faculty will provide the instruction. F-M educators will resume providing in-person instruction only.
More information about the district’s 2021-22 reopening plans will be shared with families during the summer recess.
Let’s Talk!
The district is aware that many in the community have questions or concerns related to how COVID-19 is effecting school operations. To address these questions and concerns, the district’s Let’s Talk! platform, which is a web-based, two-way communications tool that allows anyone to share concerns or questions with district administrators at any time, is open.
The interactive software is designed to streamline conversations and is not intended to be used for communicating urgent messages. If you have an urgent question or concern, please contact your child’s school.
Return to School After Illness
Fayetteville-Manlius follows the guidance in the New York State Department of Health Pre-K to Grade 12 COVID-19 Toolkit when determining if a child can attend school and when staff can go to work. Please refer to the toolkit for help in determining if your child can attend school or return to school after an illness.
If your child needs a COVID-19 test, please refer to the Onondaga County COVID-19 Testing website.
