New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio had a major announcement for the city’s public schools on Sunday. He announced that New York City public schools will reopen in phases, beginning on Monday, December 7.
Reopening our @NYCSchools buildings is paramount to recovering from #COVID19. Today we can announce that we plan to reopen buildings for:
• 3-K, Pre-K and grades K-5 on Monday, December 7
• District 75 schools at all grade levels on Thursday, December 10

Upon reopening, weekly #COVID19 testing will be in effect and testing consent forms will be required for our students to return.
Families, you can fill out the form TODAY on your @NYCSchools account — go to https://t.co/kGFODNomzx.

Finally, as we reopen, wherever possible we will move to 5 day a week in-person learning. We want our kids in the classroom for as much time as possible. Our families do, too. We’ll work to make it happen.
