Regular COVID-19 testing provides school communities and public health experts with valuable information. This year, every school, first through twelfth grade, will have ten percent of their unvaccinated school population tested twice a month for ongoing random surveillance. Surveillance testing is aimed at determining the prevalence of COVID-19 in our schools and provides ongoing information to public health experts. Please note that students must submit a new COVID-19 testing consent form for the 2021-2022 school year to participate in the testing program. Please visit the DOE Covid Testing Website for more details (Open External Link).

Complete list of messages for families from the NYC Department of Education
The NYC Department of Education (DOE) and Wide Open School (WOS) share a belief that online learning resources are an essential component of student learning in the modern classroom and complement teacher instruction. Online resources also support educational equity, which is critical to transforming the lives of all students, especially those with disabilities and who are multilingual learners. This exciting DOE and WOS partnership provides a distance learning site where families and students may access a variety of high-quality, academic enrichment and support resources.
Wide Open School began as a way to meet the change in learning needs of students, teachers, and families due to the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic has highlighted the invaluable role that teachers play in students' lives. It has also made the connection between schools and families more essential than ever.
Through the site, students are able to complete free self-guided learning activities, and parents, caregivers, and teachers can find the advice and support they seek about distance and hybrid learning. With content curated by Common Sense and an easy-to-use experience designed and built by Amplify, students and families can find resources all in one place.
Parent University seeks to educate and empower families as partners, advocates, and lifelong educators in their student's education through free courses, resources, events, and activities.
Parent University serves all families, from early childhood through adulthood. Even if you are not a parent, we encourage you to become involved with Parent University. With an expanding course list Parent University is ready to support you.
If your child tests positive for Covid-19, please keep us posted. Your child will need to quarantine for 5 days before returning to school.
CLOSE CONTACT TRACING
If your child tests positive for COVID-19, it is very important to identify anyone that they may have come into close contact with during the two days before the start of their symptoms, or the date of their positive test if they do not have symptoms.
A Contract Tracer may contact you to ask about your child’s medical history, symptoms, and activities related to COVID-19 transmission. You may be asked to help identify people that your child was around who might be determined to be a close contact.
Close contacts will need to follow public health recommendations including wearing a mask, getting tested, and quarantining based on their vaccination status and history of prior infection.
The information you provide during contact tracing activities will be kept confidential in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local privacy laws and regulations.
The NYC Test & Trace Corps are working to call everyone who tested positive or were exposed. Please answer the phone if you get a call from:
TESTING AFTER A POSITIVE TEST RESULT
People who have recovered from Covid-19 can continue to test positive for up to 3 months after their infection. When a student who has tested positive returns to school after their isolation, or when they are symptom free, they are not required to show a negative Covid test to enter the building.
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/.
