A letter from Principal Brunger


February 12, 2020

Dear Heritage Middle School Families,

I am writing to follow up on a letter that was sent home, dated January 27, 2020 regarding water bottles in school. The letter stated, “Effective immediately, we will not be allowing students to bring in open containers of liquids such as water bottles, juice, etc.  Students may bring beverages to school but the containers must be sealed and new.  Students may bring in a recyclable container to fill at our water stations but it must be empty upon entering the school.  Any open, filled containers will be taken from students by security during the AM security check.”

It was brought to our attention that a parent independently tested water that resulted in findings of a bacteria in the water. In consultation with the Town of New Windsor and the Orange County Department of Health, it was determined that the water is safe to consume, however, further testing will continue. Out of an abundance of caution, bottled water will be provided for faculty, staff, and students. Additionally, any food being prepared today is being done with bottled water.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to investigate this concern. The safety of our scholars is our highest priority. Should any further updates be necessary, an updated letter will be sent home with your scholar.

Sincerely,

 

Lynnette Brunger, Principal

Heritage Middle School
