Dear I.S. 24 School Community,
We hope you are well and are looking forward to the Mid-Winter Recess next week where schools will be closed in new York City from Monday, February 21- Friday, February 25.
This week, and before we leave for the recess, every student and staff member will receive at-home COVID-19 test kits to use prior to returning to school. A letter from the NYC DoE explaining this further is being shared on Pupilpath and our website www.barnes.24.org. Translated forms of the letter may be found using this link. https://www.schools.nyc.gov/about-us/messages-for-families

This letter to families provides guidance about COVID-19 home test kits for use before returning to school after the Midwinter Recess. Our “Stay Safe, Stay Open” plan has succeeded in allowing us to keep our schools open and remain among the safest places for young people to be during the COVID-19 pandemic, including during the Omicron surge.

Our students will be receiving test kits as two separate boxes and one kit in each box. Distribution is happening on different days and will be completed by Friday.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter and best wishes for a safe Mid-Winter recess to all our students and families.
Lenny Santamaria
Principal
