As always, the health and safety of our students, families, and school staff remain our top priority. We have spent months preparing for the safe reopening of our schools; we know they are like home for so many of us and provide the social-emotional support and learning our children need.
We all have a part to play in keeping our school communities safe. We are asking you to do your part by making sure your children have completed their health screenings (including temperature checks) before they enter school buildings. We encourage you to use our Online Health Screening Tool each day that your child is scheduled to attend in-person learning.
You can find the online health screening at healthscreening.schools.nyc When you do the screening at home, you or your child just need to provide the results of the screening either by showing the email on a smartphone or a printout of the results before entering the school building. All students will receive an oral thermometer in their first week of in-person instruction in case they need one to check their temperature.
If you or your child is not able to pre-screen using the online tool, you may use the Paper Health Screening Questionnaire and have your child bring the completed form to school and show it upon entry. Your school will provide you with printed copies so you can complete the questionnaire at home.
If you or your child forgets or is unable to pre-screen, someone will be available at your school's
entrance to assist your child in completing the form and checking your child’s temperature.
In order to keep everyone healthy and slow the spread of COVID-19, students will not be able to attendbin-person classes if they have:
o Traveled internationally or from a state with widespread community transmission of COVID-19 per the New York State Travel Advisory in the past 14 days.
There are several free or low-cost internet options available to New York City students and families.
Electronic Device Request
To help students sta connected during emergencies, the DOE is lending internet-enabled iPads to support remote learning for students. Please encourage families who need to request an internet- enabled electronic device to complete the survey here:
If you have issues with technology for learning at home, visit our support pages: http://on.nyc.gov/3kImrrp
If you still have issues, we are here for you. Fill out the Technical Support for Families form: http://schools.nyc.gov/techsupport and we will get in touch.
Telehealth Tips Website
TheNYC Administration for Children’s Services, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity, and the Public Policy Labhavecollaborated to create aTelehealth Tips websiteto support families, providers, and advocates in using telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. All information on the website is available in New York City’s 11 official languages.
Families can use the Telehealth Tips for Families page to find answers to common questions about setting up their technology and preparing for a virtual session. If you have any questions, please contact
info@publicpolicylab.org
State P-EBT System Should Now Include All NYC Public School Students
All NYC public school students were entered automatically into the State's P-EBT system and should now appear in the system. Some families have already received the cards in the mail, but not all mailings have gone out. If you have not yet received the cards, you should expect them shortly.
In the rare instance you learn that your child does not appear in the P-EBT system after calling the helpline, please email us at
info@foodadvocates.org
If you have not received a P-EBT mailing within the next few days, call the State P-EBT Helpline at 1-833-452-0096 to confirm that your child appears in the P-EBT system.

LETTER FROM CHANCELLOR CARRANZA
Letter from Chancellor Carranza
Dear Families,
Before we part for Winter Recess, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for all you have done to keep the learning going during this unforgettable year.
Our families and educators are the hearts and souls of our school communities, and everything we have gotten right this year, we owe to you. To the sacrifices you have made to ensure your children thrive in an era of blended and remote learning. To your trust in our public schools. To your personal feedback to me—whether positive or negative, it has helped me and everyone at the DOE better serve you and your children.
Although the holidays will look very different this year, there is still much to celebrate. I hope you take time to rejoice, relax, connect with loved ones near and far—and reflect on the acts of kindness and compassion that have lifted your lives these past 12 months.
As we look ahead to the rest of the school year, we are unwavering in our focus to deliver the highest-quality education possible to each of your children. We do this to prepare them for a successful, productive life, empowered with the skills they need to chase their dreams. To that end, last week we announced changes to the middle and high school admissions process, which will open in January. Beginning next year, our middle schools will not use academic records, auditions, or other screens or assessments to evaluate or admit students, and high schools will phase out geographic priorities. This will result in a fairer process for all New York City public school families. To learn more, please visit schools.nyc.gov/middle or schools.nyc.gov/high.
We know there’s more to do, and we are united in our mission to make sure your child—and every one of their 1.1 million peers—receives the best education possible in the greatest city in the world.
On behalf of all of us at the Department of Education, I wish you and your loved ones a beautiful holiday season and a happy new year. Please stay safe and well, and we look forward to seeing you in 2021!
Sincerely,
Richard A. Carranza
Chancellor
New York City Department of Education
