MARCH 28, 2020: Department of Health Guidance on COVID-19
Dear Parents,
There have been questions from some concerned parents and students about if there are cases of Covid-19 Coronavirus within our community.
According to the NYC Department of Health, there is now widespread community transmission of COVID-19 in New York City, meaning the sources of new infections are unknown.
According to the Department of Health, everyone in New York City should act as if they have been exposed to COVID-19. That means monitoring your health closely, staying home if you are sick, and calling for medical help when you are sick. New Yorkers who are not sick should also stay home as much as possible and avoid all unnecessary social interactions.
School is currently scheduled to be closed until April 20. If the school closure is extended, we will update this information on our website and with a phone blast. NYC school closures are also reported daily by all major news media.
