Regents Examinations, June 15 - June 24, 2022

Beginning on Wednesday, June 15, only students who have Regents exams are in attendance. Regents exams are scheduled in the morning, beginning at 9am, and in the afternoon, beginning at 1pm; students should arrive at the appropriate time for their exams. Regents are 3 hours in length, unless a student receives extra time, as mandated by an iEP or status as an ELL.

If a student is scheduled for a Regents exam, that exam will now appear as a course in Jupitergrades. It will list the Regents exam, date and time in the title. Students also received a handout listing the Regents they are scheduled for. New York State lists dates and times of all Regents exams.

The Regents exam testing and grading period continues through Friday, June 24. Monday, June 27 is the last day of school; all students should be in attendance on that day.

Updated Covid-19 Protocols

As of May 17, 2022, New York has announced that, due to recent increases in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in New York City, the city is now at a COVID-19 high (orange) alert level. This means there is significant spread of COVID-19 in the city. Please read this letter from the Department of Education regarding this development, and steps your child can take to stay safe and healthy.

The Department of Education has updated Covid-19 protocols on their web site. Please click here for the most updated information.

Entrance Procedures

To help alleviate crowding at the entrance, we are sharing the following procedures:

1. Students will enter the building at Exit 2, on Grand Street between Bushwick Avenue and Waterbury Street.

2. The school building is open at 7:30am. Students are served breakfast in the cafeteria.

3. All students must complete a health screening to enter the building. Please complete the screening online before arriving in the school: https://healthscreening.schools.nyc/ If you are not able to complete the screening online, we will have paper copies in the school.

4. Students who do not yet have an ID card will be provided one in the coming days. This should reduce wait time when they enter the building. Please be sure to bring your ID card with you every day.

Please make sure your children are wearing well-fitted masks that cover their mouths and noses. They must wear their masks for the entire day except when eating lunch. We strongly recommend students eat a good breakfast before arriving, so they have energy for a full day!

Covid Vaccination and Testing

The Department of Education encourages all students 12 and older to get vaccinated for Covid-19; we will have vaccines available at our school during the first week of classes. Parents must complete consent form for students to be vaccinated; the consent form is available here for printing.

Parents must provide consent for their children to be tested for Covid-19. This helps ensure that our community remains safe and healthy. You may give this consent using your NYC Schools account (NYCSA).
