Sayville Closes Monday; Reschedules This Weekend's SAT Exam

SAYVILLE, NY — Sayville School District has announced that district schools will close Monday, March 16 as a preventative measure during the coronavirus scare. No COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the community. Staff should still report to work, according to Superintendent John Stimmel, who said that further details will be available later Friday.

In addition, this Saturday's SAT exam has been rescheduled. The test, originally planned for March 14, will be postponed until Saturday, March 28. The postponement comes as extracurricular events across Long Island schools are canceled or rescheduled due to the spread of the new coronavirus.

The school website posted an announcement directing those with additional questions to contact The College Board at 866-756-7346.

"As a result of COVID-19 related concerns, the district will postpone, cancel or modify all field trips and extracurricular activities until April 14. A complete list will be posted on the District webpage today. Please know the Board of Education and I share the concerns of the entire community. The district will continually evaluate new information and provide you with regular updates," Dr. John Stimmel, superintendent of Sayville Schools, wrote in a notice to the community.
