Statement from Superintendent Pirozzolo: Mask Mandates:
Dear Auburn Families,
You may have heard that a state judge in Nassau County has ruled that New York State’s mask mandate is unconstitutional, but more litigation is expected. According to the State Education Department (SED), nothing is changing for schools at this time.

Per SED and the Auburn Enlarged City School District’s school attorneys, we will continue to require all students, staff, and visitors to wear masks at this time ...

Digital Access Survey for Parents/Guardians:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As you may be aware, the Auburn Enlarged City School District has been working to collect information on behalf of the New York State Education (NYSED) about our students’ home access to computers and the Internet. Working with our partners at the Central New York Regional Information Center (CNYRIC), we decided to deploy this Digital Access Survey in SchoolTool, as this is the student management system that we use to send important data to the NYSED. While we agree with the CNYRIC that SchoolTool is the best platform to store the results of the Digital Access Survey, we have learned that it is not the most user-friendly way for parents to access and complete it.

Welcome Back for the 2021-2022 School Year!:
August 2021
Dear Auburn Families,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! We are very happy to be starting the 2021-2022 school year with full in-person instruction five days a week for all students in Grades K through 12. Of course, this school year will continue to look very different from a typical school year, but the fact that all of our students can return for in-person instruction is what is most important because we all know that students learn best in the classroom. There are many unknowns as we head into the new academic year, but our primary goal is to keep our doors open for in-person learning five days a week all year long, and we will do whatever we need to do to make that happen.
Below are some of the health and safety protocols we have in place based on recommendations ...
