The Portville Central School District has been informed by the Cattaraugus County Health Department that a middle-level student at Portville Central School District has tested positive for COVID-19.
Students in 7th grade are not to report to school tomorrow, Thursday, November 19th or Friday, November 20th. These students will be expected to join their regularly-scheduled classes online tomorrow and Friday.
The Cattaraugus County Health Department conducts contact tracing and will contact anyone at high risk of exposure. If you are contacted by the Health Department, please follow their recommendations.
If you are not contacted by the Cattaraugus County Health Department, you are considered to be at low risk, if any, for contracting Covid-19, but should always monitor for symptoms.
At this point, there is no evidence that the COVID-19 transmission is occurring at school. We will continue to practice masking, spacing, and hygiene practices.
The Portville Central School District and Cattaraugus County Health Department appreciate your help to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Halloween Seniors: It is a long standing tradition that seniors dress up for Halloween and parade through the elementary and high school hallways. Due to learning taking place remotely through this weekend, there has been a change in plans. Seniors have decided to dress in costume and parade through the Village. This will take place on Friday at 3:00 PM. They will begin at Pioneer Park and walk the sidewalks to the elementary parking lot. Seniors will finish at the Jean Feely Outdoor Classroom where donuts and cider will be waiting for them. Seniors and spectators don't forget to mask up and social distance!

LUNCH AND BREAKFAST AVAILABLE FOR 7-12 GRADERS CURRENTLY IN REMOTE LEARNING
For those 7-12 students in remote learning due to recent circumstances, you are welcome to contact our Cafeteria Manager, Paula Brooks, to make arrangements to pick up lunch (and the next day’s breakfast) starting tomorrow, October 22 through Friday, October 30 (on weekdays only.) You may decide to have two day’s lunches/breakfasts prepared for pickup if that is more convenient for you. If you choose the 2-day option, you would receive the hot lunch of the day and one cold lunch; or you may pick up the hot lunch daily.
If you are interested in picking up lunches for your children, please contact Paula Brooks via email at pbrooks@portvillecsd.org or by calling 933-6763 by 10:00 a.m. daily so that we have ample time to have your meals prepared. Lunches may be picked up at the loading dock at the back of the high school between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Again, this will run through Friday, October 30, 2020.
Student Attendance - Just a reminder that we are following our normal daily bell schedule. Attendance is taken for each class and attendance is mandatory. If you are sick or have Dr.'s appointments that will keep you from going to class you should contact the nurse's office at 933-6708. A reminder that parents can log onto Power School to check student attendance and grades on a daily basis.
