Update, as of August 10, 2020 – 4:15 p.m.
Dear Elmira City School District Families,
You may have read today that the Elmira City School District School Re-Opening plan was not received by the New York State Education Department or NYSDOH. The plan was successfully submitted on Friday July 31st to both NYSED and NYSDOH.
We received confirmation from New York State Education Department on Friday July 31, 2020 stating that they received the Elmira City School District’s “The Track Back” plan for re-opening schools from. The District also completed the necessary steps required by the New York State Department of Health and submitted the affirmation on July 31 and reaffirmed with NYSDOH today when we received notification that our school district’s name was on a list that required attention.
The link below will take you directly to our “The Track Back” portion of our website where you will find our Re-Opening Plan and a Frequently Asked Questions document that the District will keep updated.
To learn more about this plan and to ask questions regarding school re-opening, we encourage parents to sign up for an upcoming Parent Academy to interact directly with school administrators. The full lists of dates and times for these virtual Parent Academy informational sessions can be found here:

As we’ve done from the beginning, we will continue keeping our families informed throughout our school re-opening planning. We appreciate your ongoing support.
Thank you and be well,
Hillary Austin
Superintendent of Schools
Elmira City School District
