Ms. Kelley, high school art teacher, tweaked her first Studio in Art project of the school year which would normally be a self-portrait collage. Instead the students created COVID-19 mask self-portrait collages to reflect the fact that we are all experiencing a global pandemic. The students chose magazine items that reflected their personality and collaged them to create a COVID-19 mask. Ms. Kelley teaches Studio in Art at the Orchard Park High School. Studio in Art is the prerequisite introductory art course at the high school level.

The District wanted to make the community aware that on some occasions a positive COVID-19 case is being reported to us after the quarantine period has been completed. In this scenario the cases will be added to the dashboard on the correct dates. If this is the case and the quarantine period has already been completed we will not be adding that to our daily letter as that may cause confusion to our families.
