Dear LESP Students + Families,
As Omicron cases rise in New York City, we must continue to take the necessary precautions in staying safe at school. Please help us keep LESP a healthy school community by doing the following:
- If you are sick and showing symptoms of Covid-19, stay home and GET TESTED.
- If you test POSITIVE for Covid-19, please email me or one of your teachers ASAP with a picture of the confirmed test result. This helps us let others know if they need to be tested too. You will not get in trouble for testing positive.
- If you are Vaccinated, please upload your Vaccine card here to the NYC DOE Portal. If you are vaccinated you DO NOT need to miss school and quarantine if you are exposed. Get Boosted! If you already have your two shots, make sure to get your third if you're eligible.
- If you are NOT vaccinated, please see the attached letters from NYC DOE
- Get your flu shot! This helps everyone to stay healthy from the flu as well.
We want our doors to be open and for everyone to feel safe so they can continue to learn and thrive in school. Most importantly, in order for us to do this, youmust WEAR A MASKthroughout your day at school.
Lastly, because the January Regents were canceled, there is no longer Saturday Regents Prep.
Regents Cancelation:
When are the 2021-2022 Regents exams?
The exams will be administered within the following dates:
- January 2022 Regents Examination Period
- On December 21st, the Board of Regents and New York State Education Department (NYSED) announced the cancellation of all Regents examinations that had been scheduled for the January 2022 Regents administration period, in response to the ongoing COVID–19 pandemic. No decisions have been made regarding the June and August 2022 administrations of Regents Examinations or any other State assessment programs.
Due to these changes, regular classes will be held during "Regents Week" (January 25-28).
