COVID-19 Hub

COVID-19 Hub

We are committed to keeping our YARCS family in the know. This page serves as our COVID-19 Hub and will be updated as needed.




Throughout the pandemic, our COVID-19 Safe Return Committee has worked behind the scenes to keep our school community as safe as possible. The committee is comprised of parents, staff and members of the Board of Trustees. They will continue to monitor state, federal and local guidance (York City Health Bureau).

Masks are optional for students, staff, parents and visitors. If your children feel safer wearing masks at school, they may do so. We encourage you to talk with them and make the best choice for your family.

Please continue to monitor your children for COVID-19 symptoms each morning using our Daily Screening Tool 
(view the Spanish version) and keep them home if they are sick. 

If your children have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19 (especially in your household), they should wear a mask to school to protect others.

In addition, as with all vaccinations, if your child received the COVID-19 vaccine please let our nurses know. Simply take a picture of their card with your phone and email it to Ms. Halloran (K-6) or Ms. Ackerman (7-12) for our records. 

Together, we must all make positive decisions inside and outside of school to keep our entire school community safe. Let's "uknight" in the fight against COVID-19 at York Academy! Your support is deeply appreciated.
