Covid-19 Response & Reopening Plan

2020-2021

Welcome to our COVID-19 Response & Reopening Plan. Below you’ll find all the critical information about how PS 200 is changing the way we operate to reduce the risk of COVID infection.

  • Fall 2020 Hybrid Learning Schedule: See the school "cohort" schedule, instructional day schedules for both in-person learning and at-home remote learning, and school calendar.

  • Hybrid Learning: An explanation of what hybrid learning looks like at PS 200 along with policies and guidelines for successful hybrid learning.

  • Building Safety: A breakdown of safety measures and expectations now in place to keep our students and staff safe during in-person learning.

  • Daily Health Screenings: Learn how to use the NYC DOE Health Screening tool. All people who enter the building must complete this screening.

  • Arrival and Dismissal: Instructions and grade-specific procedures for arrival and dismissal.

  • Food Services: Breakfast and lunch will be provided for students to eat in their classroom. The menus are available on the DOE website.

  • Evacuation Drills: An explanation of how safety drills have been adapted during the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • School Bus Protocols: Updated rules and procedures for keeping our students safe as they travel by bus to and from our school.

  • Free Covid-19 Testing: Students in 3K through twelfth grade can get priority testing at 22 Health + Hospitals testing sites throughout the school year. Find a location near you.

We are doing everything we can to make sure staff, students, and families are safe. Please check back regularly, as we will update the information here as conditions change.
