Interim Superintendent’s message on 2021 school reopening

August 9, 2021

Dear Members of the Fort Plain Central School Community:

As we prepare to reopen our schools next month, Fort Plain and districts across our region and state face uncertainties caused by the rising rates of COVID-19 due to the Delta variant.

However, our goal remains to open our schools safely for in-person learning. We will continue to work closely with the Montgomery County Public Health Department and follow guidance from the NYS Department of Health and the CDC. We will review and revise district procedures and protocols as guidance is received and as needed, to maintain a healthy learning environment.

A new school year provides new opportunities. We are looking forward to welcoming our students, faculty and staff back in September and fulfilling the district’s mission to provide each student with the opportunity to develop intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically in a safe, orderly and positive environment, to prepare every student for success beyond graduation.

We will keep you informed, and we thank you for your patience and support.

Sincerely,
Jeffery Ziegler
Interim Superintendent of Schools
