COVID-19 Updates

All COVID – 19 Updates and former announcements are housed on this page.

Hi Parents,

In an effort to reduce the number of phone calls you receive from the Huntingdon Area School District, we have decided to post weekly Covid-19 updates, every Thursday evening, to our webpage. This will make the information on the number of our positive cases and close contacts available to the general public without numerous alerts and phone calls home.

Here are the numbers for our current 14-Day window.

1/7- 1/20	High School	Middle School	Southside	Standing Stone	Teachers/Staff
14 day Rolling Window - Positives	30	14	12	9	10
Close Contacts	162	126	78	61	17
Number Quarantined	149	118	82	57	20

HASD Student Face Covering Exemption

This message involves the masking mandate implemented by Governor Wolf and the PADOH. If your child has a documented medical or mental health condition or disability that precludes the wearing of a face covering while on the bus and at school, and you are requesting an exemption from this requirement, you must submit an exemption request form that can be found on the Huntingdon Area School District website. A section of this form must be completed by your child’s health care provider. With that being said, according to the CDC, mask-wearing students will not need to quarantine if exposed to a student who tests positive for COVID-19, if both students were properly masked. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us to provide a safe environment for your children.
