Rensselaer County
Emma Willard School is committed to staying open for on-campus learning while it is safe to do so. Per New York State guidance, the school would close to on-campus learners if the external community (Rensselaer County) were to reach a 7-day positivity rate of 5.0% or if the internal, on-campus community were to reach a 5% positivity rate.
Testing and Surveillance
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 who are working on-campus are tested weekly. When students return to campus in January, all community members will be tested weekly.
Our surveillance testing will be 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.

Total Tests
