Please read this important message on DOE Device Inventory taking place on November 17th.

November 4, 2022

Dear Parent or Guardian,

The New York City Department of Education is performing a comprehensive inventory of all devices loaned to students. To achieve this, we’re asking for all devices to be brought to school on November 17, 2022 to perform a device inventory. Devices include desktops, laptops, and tablets.

How this impacts you

Throughout the pandemic, the DOE has loaned devices to the students; these devices must be brought back into the school on the days of the inventory. The devices will be verified they are in good functioning condition and returned to the student to be brought back home for continued learning.

What you need to do

Make sure that your child brings their DOE device with them to school on November 17. They do not need to bring accessories (for example, the power cord or keyboard). Please have your child bring the device to school even if it is broken or not in good condition. The DOE will look into replacing it under warranty.

What will happen to the device

A DOE vendor will scan the barcode on the device and return it to your child. This should only take a few seconds and the device will be returned to your child on November 23. The device will have a sticker on it, indicating it has been scanned. Please do not remove this sticker. If you have any questions or concerns, please work with our school’s SPOC, Mr. Silverman at msilverman3@schools.nyc.gov

Thank you

Covid-19 Notices

Please read the following school wide notice about 1 case of covid-19 reported in our school community today, November 22, 2022.

11/22/2022

Dear P.S. 102 The Bayview at 211 72 STREET community,

I am writing to notify you that a member or members of our school community have tested positive for COVID-19 and may have exposed others while at school.

Below you will find guidance on next steps that will help keep our school community healthy and safe. The information below reflects the expertise of the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), Test & Trace Corp (T2), and the New York City Department of Education (DOE).

Note: DOHMH has issued new guidance due to the current transmission level of COVID. All people, regardless of vaccination status are strongly encouraged to wear masks at all times when indoors in a public setting. Please see the DOHMH advisory for more information.

What Happens Now?

· Students and staff who shared classroom space with the individual who tested positive will receive at-home tests with guidance and directions. All may continue to attend school as long as they test negative for COVID and have no COVID like symptoms.

· The Situation Room will monitor our school for any further interventions.

· Anyone with a positive COVID-19 test will not return to the school until they are no longer infectious.

· If your child is feeling sick, keep them at home.

How do we stay healthy?

We strongly encourage the COVID-19 vaccination for all age-eligible students. Find a vaccine site today at https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/. There is no cost to be vaccinated.

Vaccine booster shots are now available for all fully vaccinated New Yorkers 5 years and older. These shots boost your immunity from an initial vaccination series. A booster shot is recommended for any adult who received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least five months ago, the second dose of the Moderna vaccine at least six months ago, or the one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago.

Please remember to follow these important actions to prevent COVID-19 transmission:

1. Stay home if sick (except to get essential medical care, including COVID-19 testing).

2. Wear a face covering if you are symptomatic or exposed to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

3. Practice healthy hand hygiene: Wash your hands often or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer; avoid touching your face; and cover your cough or sneeze with your arm, not your hands.

How can I stay updated?

We will continue to closely follow directions from public health experts and proactively update you on any measures we are taking. To ensure we can reach you via text and email, please create a New York City Schools Account (NYCSA) as soon as possible by visiting schools.nyc.gov/nycsa

Garden Group Meetings

Parents work together each Friday morning from 9:00 - 10:30ish to maintain the garden throughout the year. "Meetings" are informal - but we do use this time to make plans for the garden season and future programming for our students and families. Gloves and tools are available. These sessions are cancelled in the event of rain. If they are cancelled for any other reason, I will post on www.ps102.org as early as possible. Hope to see you soon!

We meet throughout the year - though our sessions are more brief in the winter months.

If you are not getting emails about the garden and would like to -- please ask me to add you to the list: melliotsheri@schools.nyc.gov.
