Finally, please review our Arrival and Dismissal Procedures to learn which door your child must use and what time your child's class will be exiting the building at dismissal so that we may implement safe practices.

Mandatory In-School COVID-19 Testing:
In order for your child to return to in-person learning, you must submit the consent form for in-school COVID-19 testing. Mandatory in-school testing will happen weekly for a random selection of staff and students in all reopened school buildings.
If you have already submitted consent, we encourage you to do so again to ensure your student has the latest form on file:
Online: Fill out the form online using a New York City Schools Account (NYCSA). Go to mystudent.nyc
Paper Form: Fill out and return the paper form to school. A printable PDF file is available in ten languages at on the DOE website.
For more information about testing, visit the DOE Reopening Plan website.
Learning Preference Survey:
Families may choose 100% remote learning at any point during the school year by completing the Learning Preference Survey form. This means they would learn 100% remotely (all online, from home).
Grading Policy:
The DOE has announced the GRADING POLICY for the 2020-2021 school year. You can learn more about it on the DOE website.
