COVID FAQs

COVID UPDATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
 

Please note that we will be sharing our weekly positive Covid-19 numbers in the

Weekly Newsletter sent on Sundays, in lieu of sending daily school-wide emails.

We will continue notifying classes where a student tests positive (more information below).

NEW! Our updated FAQ's about Covid-related Health and Safety can be found here.

You can order four FREE at-home Covid Test kits from the Federal Government here.

​

• Any student exposed in school to an individual who tested positive for COVID-19 is backpacked an at-home test kit. Guidelines and instructions for administering the tests is emailed to families in those classes.

• Videos to aid in the administration of the at-home test kits can be found here.

• If your child tests positive for Covid-19 or is a close contact, please complete this form immediately. 

• Please read this letter from PS 29's Education Action Committee. Members of the NYC DOE/ DOH testing team come to test students and staff weekly. A small, predetermined number of vaccinated and unvaccinated students whose families have provided consent are chosen at random. If you have not already consented to testing for the 2021-2022 school year and would like to do so, please:

  • Provide consent on your NYCSA account.

  • Contact Olivia Poor for a paper consent form.
