Updated Health Guidelines
The Department of Education has released new health guidelines for the 22-23 school year. Here are the key points:
- Wearing masks is strongly recommended, but not required.
- Students who test positive for COVID-19 must isolate 5 days from the start of symptoms. Students must then mask on Days 6-10.
- While vaccination is not required to attend NYC public schools, we and the NYCDOE are strongly encouraging COVID-19 vaccination. You can find more information about COVID-19 vaccines, and how to get one here. Any visitors, including parents, will be required to show proof of vaccination to enter the school building.
- Students no longer need to complete the daily health screening before entering the building.
- Anyone who is feeling sick should stay home and get tested if they show symptoms of COVID-19.
- Four at-home tests will be provided once a month to all students. Additional tests will be available to those showing symptoms or with potential in-school exposure.
