Consent to Testing
How to access testing consent in NYSCA account
|
The most important step we need parents to take prior to their children returning is for them to go into NYC Schools Account (NYSCA), and resubmit your consent for testing. If you have questions about testing, please reach out to Rudi ([email protected]) or to me ([email protected]). Even if you previously selected yes, please go in and resubmit your consent. All families whose child is in-person needs to resubmit testing consent in NYSCA. You must provide consent by selecting "Yes" in order to attend in person.

Testing in Schools
|
Keeping school buildings open depends upon awareness of and immediate action on any COVID-19 concerns in our buildings. To do this, we need students and staff in our buildings to get tested! That’s why we’re bringing testing directly into schools beginning in October 2020. Our testing partners will come to district schools, every month, and test a randomly selected group of staff and students from grades 1-12. The number of people to be tested will depend on the size of the school, but will consist of 10-20% of a school’s population each month, students and staff included. Schools throughout the city will be tested every day for the remainder of the month.
