  • P-EBT Food Benefits for 2020/21 School Year

    UPDATED FLIERS ON P-EBT FOOD BENEFITS ARE ATTACHED!

    The Continuing Appropriations Act of 2021 and Other Extensions Act reauthorized the payment of P-EBT food benefits to households with children who would have received free school lunches under the National School Lunch Act, if not for a reduction in in-person learning due to the pandemic. These temporary food benefits are being provided to help cover the cost of meals children would have otherwise received at school during the 2020-21 academic year. 

    Because New York City is a universal school lunch district, all public school families regardless of income will receive the benefits! You do not (and cannot) apply for Pandemic EBT food benefits. P-EBT food benefits will automatically be issued to eligible children. Read more about it on the NY State announcement and Chalkbeat.

Covid-19 Notices

  • Please read the following letter about a positive case of Covid-19 reported this afternoon, December 2

    12/2/2021 4:04 PM

    Subject: Confirmed Case of COVID-19: Close Contacts Quarantined

    Dear P.S. 102 The Bayview at 211 72 STREET Community:

    The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and the NYC Test + Trace Corps (T2) have determined that a member of our school community has 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 you, your child, and our school community healthy and safe. The information below reflects the expertise of DOHMH, T2, and the New York City Department of Education (DOE).

    What Happens Now?

    • Students and staff who are considered close contacts of the individual who tested positive have been notified of the need to quarantine for 10 days from their last contact with the person who tested positive. These students and staff will transition to fully remote teaching and learning for this period.
    • T2 and DOHMH will complete their investigation to identify and notify any other close contacts in the building, who will also need to quarantine for 10 days.
    • Any staff or students who are fully vaccinated OR students who were recently (within the past three months) diagnosed with COVID-19 and finished isolation in the past 90 days will NOT need to quarantine as long as they have no COVID-19 symptoms. People who are fully vaccinated have received both shots of a two shot regimen or one shot of a single shot regimen and 14 days or more have elapsed since their last shot.
    • Unvaccinated students and staff who are considered close contacts may test out of quarantine in order to return to their classrooms on the eighth day of quarantine. In order to do so, students should take a COVID-19 test on their fifth day of quarantine in order to re-enter class on the eighth day. Students must submit proof of a negative test through the COVID-19 Vaccination Portal, or by submitting the result to the school on paper or electronically.
    • Anyone with a positive COVID-19 test will not return to the school until they are no longer infectious.
    • All areas visited by the person with COVID-19 will be deep cleaned, disinfected, and reopened.
    • If your child is feeling sick, keep them at home.

    How do we stay healthy?

    All New Yorkers age 5 or older are eligible to be vaccinated for COVID-19. If someone is fully vaccinated, they do not have to miss school, sports or work if there is a case in their classroom. People who are between 5 and 17 years old are eligible for the Pfizer vaccine only; all older ages are eligible for all three vaccines. Find a vaccine site today at https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/. There is no cost to be vaccinated.

    Please remember to follow these important “Core Four” actions to prevent COVID-19 transmission:  

    1. Stay home if sick (except to get essential medical care, including COVID-19 testing).
    2. Practice social distancing: Stay at least 6 feet away from people who are not members of your household.
    3. Wear a face covering to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
    4. 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.

    To help New Yorkers quarantine, the NYC Test + Trace Corps partners with community-based organizations to connect individuals to resources like food, medicine, and health care.  To connect with resources, you can call 1-212-COVID19 (212-268-4319).

  • PS 102 PTA is participating in NYC's Vaccine Referral Bonus Initiative

    Great news, PS 102 PTA is participating in New York City’s Vaccine Referral Bonus Initiative! We are thrilled to partner with the city to achieve the critical goal of getting more New Yorkers vaccinated.

    As you know, the initiative provides your organization with $100 per person that you refer and that receives their first vaccine dose at City-run vaccination sites. A full list of eligible sites can be found on nyc.gov/vax4nyc (including school sites). As of today, our organization’s name is listed in the nyc.gov/vax4nyc check-in system for appointments, walk-ups, and at-home visits.
     
    Anyone that is referred to a City-run vaccination site should select our organization’s name in the referral field when making their appointment, if they are walking up they should tell the vaccination site staff who checks them in, and if they are getting an at-home visit they should tell the clinician who comes to their home (to schedule an at-home visit go to this site).
     
    Vax4NYC Tips:
    To utilize the vaccine referral benefit, patients must visit a City-run vaccination site. You can find a full list of vaccination sites here: nyc.gov/vax4nyc
     
    City-run vaccine sites now offer vaccines for children aged 5+ and there will be temporary sites in over 1,000 schools starting on Monday November 8th. Sites at schools can be found on the DOE website.
     
    To utilize the vaccine referral benefit, patients must sign up and fill out an appointment slot on nyc.gov/vax4nyc/. Note: Walk-up patients can utilize the benefit and support organizations. On-site, patients will be instructed to fill out the form at nyc.gov/vax4nyc. When patients walk up to the vaccination site, they should specifically ask their clinician to use the sponsorship field.
     
    To receive the benefit, patients must use the sponsorship field and click on your organization from the drop down list under the personal information page (page 4). If they do not utilize this, your organization will not receive the $100 bonus.
    Please let us know right away if you run into any challenges
     
    Protect yourself, support your community
     
    If you get vaccinated at an NYC-run site, you can select a community organization of your choice as a sponsor and they’ll receive $100 – an easy win-win!
    Make your referral when you schedule an appointment online at nyc.gov/vax4nyc or walk up to any NYC-run site!
    For more information about vaccines and children, families can go to nyc.gov/covidvaccine and see this FAQ.

  • Book Recommendation by Kemal 5-426

    The book, The Twits is by Roald Dahl. It is about mean Mr. and Mrs. Twit. They have 4 monkeys locked up in a cage, and the monkeys had to do everything upside down. The Twits also caught birds to be roasted in pies. Since the monkeys didn't speak English and the birds spoke English, the monkeys could not warn the birds. But one day, a bird that spoke both languages comes along and passed on the warning. So, the Twits decided to buy guns. While the Twits were away, the birds freed the monkeys and they all decided to turn the Twits upside down too! They did this by gluing everything that the Twits owned to the ceiling. This made the Twits think that if they stood in their heads, their world would "go right-side-up." But as they had been walking home, one of the birds had painted the Twits' head with glue. So when they went upside down, they got glued to the floor!
    I really like this book because it, like all Roald Dahl books, is hilarious and detailed. I would recommend this book especially for younger kids because it is easy to read and understand what's going on in the story.
    THE END
