Herkimer BOCES Cosmetology program seniors Mackenzie Ritton, of Central Valley, and Olyvia Manella, of Frankfort-Schuyler, presented to the Herkimer BOCES Board of Education on Thursday, Oct 14, about the history of cosmetology.
They did such a great job that Herkimer BOCES District Superintendent Sandra Sherwood invited component district superintendents during the cabinet meeting on Friday, Oct. 15, to attend an extended version of the presentation.
The students did an excellent job, and the cabinet members asked questions about what the students were learning and about the artifacts that were displayed. Central Valley Superintendent Jeremy Rich expressed that he was pleasantly surprised that identifying signs of abuse is a mandated part of their training and that they have brochures about community supports they can share with interested clients.

Herkimer BOCES is providing a Student Voluntary Verification of COVID-19 Vaccination Form in order to limit the need to quarantine and help remain open to in-person instruction.
To fill out the Student Voluntary Verification of COVID-19 Vaccination Form online, go here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScB4Yfe53yg1eCp0Bm9Q5evNDRzeX5b6Sg_wAZVZr8uOLH1Tg/viewform
More info about the form:
In order to remain open and in-person as much as possible during the 2021-22 school tear and to limit the number of potential quarantines that may be ordered by Herkimer County Public Health, Herkimer BOCES is asking you to let us know if your child has received a COVID-19 vaccine by filling out the Student Voluntary Verification of COVID-19 Vaccination Form.
If your child is exposed to a confirmed, positive case of COVID-19 at BOCES this year and they are fully vaccinated, they probably won't have to be quarantined, as long as they are not showing any symptoms. Having this information ahead of time helps us work with Herkimer County Public Health and could result in less time out of school for your child.
This information is being collected as anonymously as possible, and does not mean that any student or employee is required to receive any COVID-19 vaccine.
