Rondout ValleyCentral School District

In an executive order issued Friday, May 1, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that this year’s school budget vote and Board of Education election will take place on June 9 instead of May 19, by absentee ballot only. There will be no in-person voting at public polling places due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the school closure we have cancelled all facility usage until further notice.

Determining the appropriate ways to honor our graduating Class of 2020 has been one of the top priorities for our school district over the past several weeks. We appreciate all your input and ideas, helping us develop the best way to celebrate this momentous occasion.

The Rondout Valley Science Research program had another extraordinary year despite the difficult situation that developed this spring. The program continued to offer our students unparalleled opportunities to develop knowledge and master skills at levels far beyond their years which will undoubtedly pave the way for success and prepare them to take the lead in solving the complex issues facing our planet and society.

We understand that the closing of our schools may be difficult for our families. RVCSD will continue to distribute meals to all children ages 18 and under during the extended school closure.

These surveys will help us to better understand your needs, questions and concerns as we move through this challenging time together.

We were made aware that a staff member at the Intermediate/Junior High School just tested positive for COVID-19 and was in the building recently. Upon the advice of the Ulster County Health Department and with the cooperation of our Medical Director Dr. Woodley, and in the abundance of caution, we are closing the Intermediate/Junior High School building for two days.
