The NYC DOE recently announced that NYC public school students in grades 3K through 5 will return to in-person learning beginning Monday, December 7. Students in all grade levels in District 75 will return to in-person learning beginning on Thursday, December 10.
These return dates apply to students in blended learning, including those who selected blended learning during the recent opt-in period.
Students in grades 6 through 12 (outside of District 75) will continue to learn remotely until further notice.
Testing Requirements: All students in grades 1 and higher returning to buildings must submit a COVID-19 testing consent form by their first day back. Visit mystudent.nyc to complete the consent online or print and sign the form available at schools.nyc.gov/covidtesting and bring it with you on your child's first day back in the school building. 3K, Pre-K, and Kindergarten students are excluded from random testing.
Exclusions: This plan excludes schools currently located in State-designated Orange or Red Zones. You can see if your school is currently in one of these Zones at nyc.gov/covidzone. As of now, schools in Orange Zones remain closed for in-person learning. There are currently no Red Zones in New York City, but per the State, school buildings in Red Zones would also be closed.
