  • Emma's NYS COVID-19 Report Card
  • New York State Micro-Cluster Zone Strategy
  • Rensselaer County
    New York State requires that a school in a designated orange or red microcluster zone close in-person learning if surveillance testing generates 9 positive cases or a positivity rate of 3% for a sample size of 300 or more individuals. At Emma Willard School, with testing 100% of the community each week, we expect 3% would be approximately 9-13 individuals depending on the size of the tested population in a given week. 

Micro-cluster Status


We are currently NOT listed in a New York State micro-cluster zone.

Testing and Surveillance

All on-campus community members are tested weekly. (When a student or employee came to campus for the first time during this academic year, a negative COVID test was required. On October 15, we began conducting "surveillance" testing, which targeted 20 percent of our on-campus community each week. After the Thanksgiving break, employees working on-campus were tested weekly.)

Our surveillance testing is conducted by our nursing staff using an RT-PCR assay.
 
Testing is one of many mitigation strategies. It is all of our strategies together that help us reduce the risk of a COVID outbreak on our campus.

Terminology

List of 4 items.

  • Indeterminate

    Indeterminate test results are repeated to reach a conclusive outcome and then reported as either positive or negative.

  • Negative

    Negative tests include only negative results from tests administered through Emma Willard School.

  • Positive

    Positive tests include any positive test administered through the Emma Willard School or reported to the school. 

  • Total Tests

    Total tests vary based on our testing protocols: pre-travel tests taken before returning to campus, surveillance testing for students and employees (at least 20% weekly) and larger scale population (employees at the start of the school year).
