News and Announcements

Over the weekend, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirmed the first case of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in New York City. While we all hoped this moment would not come, it was something the City has meticulously prepared for. At this time, it is important to listen to facts and not respond to fear. Despite our first confirmed case, New Yorkers remain at low risk for contracting the virus.

This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discussed possible options for what could happen if there is local person-to-person transmission of the novel coronavirus in the United States, including recommendations for school systems to consider.

Recently, a novel (new) coronavirus was detected in thousands of people worldwide, primarily in China. There is evidence the infection can be spread person-to-person. A "novel coronavirus" is a strain that has not been previously found in humans.

No people have been diagnosed with this novel coronavirus in New York City (see up-to-date case count). The risk to New Yorkers of contracting this novel coronavirus is low. If you are experiencing symptoms and want to get tested, talk to your health care provider.

Dear Families,

It is very important that all of our families complete the survey – not only do we value your feedback, but a high participation rate benefits our school.

The survey takes just a few minutes to fill out and is COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS. You can return the survey by mail, but for many families, it is easier to complete the survey online. Go to www.nycschoolsurvey.org, click on “Parent Survey” and enter the eight-digit access code that appears on the bottom right-hand corner of your paper survey form.
Your participation helps our school enormously.

Thank you!
