As part of our health and safety plan, grade 1-5 students will be randomly selected for COVID-19 testing on a weekly basis. We only test students whose parents have provided consent. If you have not yet submitted this consent, you can do so one of two ways: Fill out the form using your NYC Schools Account (schoolsaccount.nyc) or download the form online at schools.nyc.gov/covidtesting and return it to your child’s teacher.
Remind is the primary way we communicate with families. To connect with us through Remind, you can download the app, sign up at www.remind.com, or join through text.
