Return to School 2021/2022

The First Day of School is Monday September 13, 2021.

Our school schedule will return to 8:20am-2:40pm.

All students and staff will attend in person. There is no blended or remote option.

You child's teacher will reach out by email on 9/9 or 9/10 to introduce themselves and notify you of your child's classroom number, morning arrival and afternoon dismissal details.

Morning Drop Off is 8:20am.  Afternoon dismissal is staggered -  Kindergarten at 2:25pm,  Grade 1 at 2:30, Grade 2 at 2:35pm and Gr 3-5 at 2:40pm.  

Students will enter at and be dismissed from the following doors by grade:

Kindergarten - front door at 211 72nd

1st Grade - large yard/double doors closest to 71st Street

2nd Grade - bridge door in large yard

3rd Grade - stairs on 71st Street

4th Grade - small yard on Ridge Blvd.

5th Grade - double doors on Ridge Blvd. (close to 72nd St.)

For a smooth arrival, please have the health screening completed for each child on your phone (healthscreening.schools.nyc) or on a printed form.  Children should be wearing a secure-fitting mask at drop off. 

Our school breakfast program will begin 9/13/21. The door in the large yard is open 7:40am-8:00am and children will be served breakfast in the cafeteria and remain there under supervision until they can go to their classrooms at 8:20am.  There is no entry to the building between 8:00am and 8:20am.

There will be four lunch periods this year.  Grades K-3 will eat in the cafeteria and grades 4 & 5 in the auditorium.  

Health Screening (using the Health Screening Tool or a Paper Form ) must be completed before students can enter the building each morning.  Staff and any visitors who enter the building will also have to submit a Health Screening to enter beyond the main lobby. However, most parent meetings, including registration, are taking place virtually. 

A random sample of 10% of students in attendance will be tested every  week.  Our testing partner is BioReference Laboratories.  We send the attached letter home with each child who is tested in our building. If for any reason you did not receive it, here is a copy: BRL Letter 2.pdf   If you do not receive an email with results within 48 hours after testing please follow instructions on this letter or call 1(800)229-5227 to request your child's test results. 

Watch this video with your child to see what Random Covid-19 testing in schools looks like.

All staff members will be required to be vaccinated by 10/5/21.  Parents are asked to submit a new Covid 19 Testing Consent Form for each student to participate in testing for the 2021/2022 school year. Kindergarten students will not be tested. You may complete this form on your child's NYC Schools Account (NYCSA) or complete and email/bring in the paper form:
