Dear Families,
August 3, 2020
I hope you are safe and healthy, and finding some rest and relaxation this summer. As we are approaching the start of the 2020-21 school year, I want to share some important new information with you about health and safety protocols in your child’s school—and every school—for the upcoming year.
All schools are preparing for blended learning, during which students learn in-person in school buildings for part of the week, and continue learning remotely from home on the other days. However, any family can choose 100% remote learning for any reason. If your preference is 100% remote learning, we ask that you let us know by this Friday, August 7, so that schools have enough time to plan. Please visit schools.nyc.gov/returntoschool2020 to fill out a short web form, or call 311.
In this letter you will find:
Criteria to Open Schools and Keep them Open
What Happens if Someone Gets Sick: New Information on COVID-19 Testing and Tracing in Schools
Overall Health and Safety Protocols for Every School
Criteria to Open Schools and Keep them Open
While we continue to carefully monitor a constantly changing health landscape, one thing remains steadfast: our commitment to the health and safety of our students, teachers, and staff. This priority is the foundation of all of our policy moving into September.
On July 31, the Mayor and I announced that for school buildings to open in September and remain open, on a weekly average the city must see fewer than 3% of all COVID-19 tests come back positive. Additionally, if 3% or more of New Yorkers who are tested for COVID-19 are found to have the virus after we open, school buildings will close again, and 100% of learning will be remote for every student.
Since June, we’ve hovered around 1-2%, and are working closely with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC Health), NYC Test + Trace, and the Mayor’s Office to prepare for a coordinated school reopening. If staff and students aren’t healthy, they can’t teach and learn, and we are doing all we can to ensure that schools remain safe and healthy for learning
What Happens if Someone Gets Sick: New Information on COVID-19 Testing and Tracing in Schools
In close collaboration with our expert colleagues at NYC Health, we have developed strict protocols that address prevention, precaution, and response to one or more of our students or employees having a confirmed case of COVID-19. It’s important to know that a “confirmed case” means that a parent or guardian, student, or staff member submits a positive test result from a healthcare provider or laboratory—like a City-run testing site, a private doctor, or an urgent care center—to the school.
Our protocols to keep school communities healthy include:
Prevention: Starting with the first day of the 2020-21 school year, if a student or staff member is feeling sick, they are required to stay home. Additionally, if their symptoms are consistent with COVID-19, they will be asked to get tested.
Feeling Sick in School: If a student begins experiencing symptoms in school, they will be isolated and monitored by a school staff member until they are picked up by their parent or guardian. Staff members who become symptomatic at school must notify administration and immediately leave the building.
Testing: All school staff members are asked to get tested for COVID-19 in the days leading up to the beginning of school, and will be prioritized for expedited results at the 34 City-run testing sites. All school staff are also asked to get tested monthly during the school year. This free testing is also available for families citywide.
Tracing: In the event of a confirmed COVID-19 case in a school, NYC Test + Trace and NYC Health will investigate to determine close contacts within the school. All students and teachers in the classroom with the confirmed case are assumed close contacts and will be instructed to self-quarantine for 14 days since their last exposure to that case. In older grades where students may travel between classes, this applies to all classes that the confirmed case was in.
If there's more than one case in a school, and it's not in the same classroom, learning will continue remotely and the school building will close for at least 24 hours while NYC Test + Trace and NYC Health investigate. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, affected classrooms or the whole building will remain closed for 14 days for quarantine.
Students will continue their learning remotely during any necessary quarantine periods.
Communication: Whether symptoms begin at home or in school, there will be a clear flow of information to facilitate fast action and prevent spread. If a COVID-19 case is confirmed, schools will communicate to all families and students at school.
Overall Health and Safety Protocols for Every School
Testing and tracing are part of several strict health protocols designed to keep our school communities healthy. Here are the key things that you and your family should know about NYC Department of Education (DOE) health and safety practices, policies, and protocols as we re-open our school buildings in September:
At all times, students and staff must wear face coverings protecting their nose and mouth while at school or on their way to school. Exceptions will be made for children who can’t wear a face covering for medical reasons, and for younger children who aren’t developmentally able to wear a face covering.
Students and staff must maintain six feet of physical distancing throughout the school day, anywhere on school grounds and to and from school.
Schools will be cleaned throughout the day and disinfected each night, with special attention to high-touch areas.
Face coverings, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies will be readily available in throughout every school.
Every school will have a school-based team ready to respond in the event that there is a health concern in a school.
Every school will have a designated isolation room for use in the event that a student becomes ill during the school day.
For more details on these and other policies, please visit schools.nyc.gov/returntoschool2020 and click “Health and Safety” for additional information and all the latest updates.
We are approaching reopening by centering health and safety and basing our policies on the expertise of health professionals—period
I’ve been a public school parent, teacher, and principal, and I know what it feels like to want the best possible education for your child while ensuring the health and safety of your entire family. We have collectively learned a lot since March—both about the virus, and about our ability to react and respond to it in real time. That’s why we won’t settle for anything but the strictest and most rigorous processes for coming back to school.
We will send more information in the coming days and weeks. As always—thank you for being part of the DOE family.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Carranza

Dear PS/MS 71 Families,
I hope you are healthy, safe, and enjoying the summer. As we prepare and plan for school to reopen in the fall, the DOE is offering a combination of in-person and remote learning. You can choose from two options:
1. 100% Remote Learning: Opt in to have your child learn 100% remotely (all online, from home). To choose this option for your child, fill out and submit this form by August 7th. https://www.nycenet.edu/surveys/learningpreference
Changing Preferences
If you chose 100% Remote Learning but want to change your child’s preference back to Blended Learning, complete this form again by August 7.
After August 7, any family who chose 100% Remote Learning will have the option to change back to Blended Learning at a few specific times during the school year.
Please know, that we are working hard and continue to plan as we consider all
possibilities to ensure the health and safety of our entire school community. Stay healthy and safe.
Sincerely
Margaret Mirando Principal

Dear Families,
I hope you and your children are well and enjoying some time off this summer. September will be here before we know it, and I am writing to you today to keep you updated on the 2020–21 school year and make sure you know how to be part of the conversation. Throughout this summer, as we diligently work to clarify operations for the fall, I promise to be transparent about what we know—and what we don’t yet know.
Your Learning Options
First things first: New York City students will be learning five days a week, whether in person or at home. As previously announced, schools are planning for blended learning, in which students will be taught in school buildings for part of the week, and will continue learning remotely from home on the other days of the week. Any family can also choose all-remote learning, for any reason. We know that the majority of families want as much in-person instruction as is safely possible, and we will work to maximize it at every turn, consistent with health and safety requirements. However, if you intend to choose all-remote learning for your child and have not yet notified us, please let us know by August 7 so schools can plan accordingly. You can fill out a web form at schools.nyc.gov/returntoschool2020 or call 311.
To enable you to make a more informed choice, we have prepared some important comparisons about what you can expect from each mode of learning, which you can find at the end of this letter. Families who choose all-remote instruction will be able to opt back in to blended learning on a quarterly basis throughout the school year, beginning in November.
No matter whether you are at school in-person or you are learning remotely, you and your child are still enrolled in and part of your school community. Your child’s schedule and learning experience will be fully managed by your school. The vast majority of students who participate in fully remote learning will be taught by teachers from their school. While there may be some limited exceptions on a school-by-school basis, you should expect your child to be assigned teachers from their school when they receive their full schedule before the school year begins.
As our plans continue to come together, we must be nimble. We will make adjustments as public health conditions continue to evolve.
How to Learn More
Every week, we will be posting more information about school operations to schools.nyc.gov/returntoschool2020. Please bookmark this page and visit it frequently. On this page, you will find information on Physical Education, Arts Education, and more. We are asking for your patience and flexibility throughout this process as we work through a great deal of planning in collaboration with our teachers, principals, and school-based staff.
Your voice and feedback are essential as our work continues. We are creating many opportunities for you to discuss the year ahead with the DOE, and we hope you will get involved. We hosted our first citywide information session on July 16, and received many great suggestions from families across the City. Please join
us for one of the upcoming info sessions Tuesday, July 28; Wednesday, August 12; and Thursday, August 27. You can visit schools.nyc.gov/returntoschool2020 to register and submit a question.
In addition, each school will host a parent meeting to discuss the proposed school schedule and to review planning for the year ahead, and we will be holding community and advocate round-table meetings, briefings with Community Education Council leaders and elected officials, and more.
While the world around us continues to change, our commitment to the health and safety of our students, teachers, staff, and families remains steadfast, and so does our focus on equity and excellence. We will deliver what your child needs to succeed academically, knowing the traumatic impact this crisis has had on New Yorkers of all ages. We will ensure your child feels welcome and supported in their school community, no matter what.
Thank you for continuing to share your comments and questions. I have said it before, but it’s no less true now: You are our most important partners and I am grateful for you today and every day. Please stay safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Carranza
Chancellor

Dear PS/MS 71 Families,
Thank you for your continued partnership. I hope you are finding the time to rest and relax this summer. DOE Central recently issued guidance to schools on blended learning and offered a series of program models that schools will use in the fall. We want our families to be actively engaged in the planning process, and commit to providing you with timely information so that you can feel confident about your decision-making as we make plans for fall 2020.
Please join us on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 from 6 pm –7 pm for our first schoolwide reopening parent meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to share the most up to date information with you and to solicit your feedback on our plans for the fall.
Please complete the Learning Preference Survey if you wish for your child to learn 100% remotely (all online, from home). To choose this option for your child, fill out and submit this form by August 7th. https://www.nycenet.edu/surveys/learningpreference
Here is a glossary of re-opening terms that explains some of the concepts you will be hearing about over the next several weeks.

Are you aware of the NYC Schools Account (NYCSA) for parents?
The DOE is working to expand access to NYCSA, and has made changes (as of March 3), that make it easier for families to create an account.
All they need to do is:
1. Visit NYCSA homepage from any computer, phone, or tablet, and click “Create an Account.”
2. Enter their name and email address, create a password, and set up brief security questions to help retrieve the password in case they forget it.
Once a family has created a basic account, they must still verify their identity and relationship to a student in order to link that student to their account. After they link their students, they can see grades, test scores, attendance, transportation information, test scores, and more. However, having a basic account will allow families to begin receiving emergency notifications from the DOE.

Dear Families,
Following up on our letter to you last week about the new health condition appearing in children in New York City and elsewhere, linked below is a Fact Sheet from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC Health) that provides additional information.
Per NYC Health, this condition has been renamed Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C)— formerly Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (PMIS). The condition is rare and it is potentially life- threatening, so it is important that you know its signs and symptoms.
NYC Health’s Fact Sheet conveys new information about the syndrome, its symptoms, when to seek medical help, treatments, and preventative steps. Because MIS-C is associated with COVID-19, acting to keep your child from being exposed to COVID-19 continues to be essential.
As a reminder, families should help their children understand the importance of the following measures and ensure their children follow them:
As per NYS Executive Order 202.17, all people over the age of two who can medically tolerate a face covering must wear one when they are outside their home if they cannot maintain physical distance from others. Free face coverings are available at DOE Meal Hubs in all five boroughs—you can find one close to you on the DOE website.
Physical distancing and good hygiene remain critical, even while wearing a face covering.
When outside the home, adults and children must maintain at least 6 feet of distance between themselves and others whenever possible.
Parents should remind children of the importance of good hand hygiene and should help ensure that children frequently wash their hands.
The health and safety of our communities remains our top priority, and we will continue to take all appropriate measures to help keep our students, families, and staff members safe. Please visit nyc.gov/health at any time for the latest information on MIS-C, and do not hesitate to contact 311 with any questions.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Carranza
Chancellor
New York City Department of Education
Dear P.S./M.S.71 Families,
Our school community continues to miss being back at our school building. We miss teaching and learning inside our classrooms and we miss the social interactions with your children each day. I hope you are healthy and safe and that both you and your child are making the necessary adjustments to succeed in a virtual Remote Learning world. Please know that our teachers and staff are available to support you and your child in any way we can to make the remaining weeks of school positive and successful.
As we conclude week 8 of Remote Learning, I would like to share some updates and information in regards to teaching and learning and inform you of some May parent engagement opportunities.
the weeks ahead, our school-wide goal is to offer many opportunities for students to interact and
recorded lessons and assignments posted on Google Classroom, teachers have begun exploring
In
engage with their teachers and classmates in purposeful and meaningful ways. In addition, to the
different ways to engage students in live sessions via Google Meet. The purpose of the live
sessions is to lift the level of student engagement and provide opportunities for students to interact
with their teachers and classmates during Remote Learning.
Our teachers have the flexibility to design these live sessions in ways that they feel will benefit
students and support Remote Learning. These weekly sessions may include: whole group mini-
lessons, targeted small group instruction to teach strategies or address misconceptions, guided
practice, share-out sessions to celebrate student work or projects, and/or office hours.
I am including a student friendly link for students and families to watch a short video on Google
Meet Etiquette. Please be mindful that when students join a Google Meet live, they are to come
dressed appropriately, especially as the weather gets warmer, do their best to stay focused and
attentive, and be ready to participate in the Remote Learning Session.
Our May Parent Engagement Calendar has already been shared with families. There are many
May events planned to keep families informed and engaged with various members of our school
community. Our Reading Spirit Week, live read aloud session in pajamas, and Math and Literacy
Scavenger Hunts were a huge success. We had a great turn out and our students had lots of fun.
Upcoming May Live Events via Google Meet:
5/18th Support for Students with IEPs during Remote Learning @ 2:00 pm; PTA Meeting @6:30 via Google Meet
5/19 Supporting your Child with Reading Skills & Reading Options Workshop @ 10:00am via Google Meet
5/29 “Home Schooling During a Pandemic,” with Ms. McMorrow and Ms. Triano @ 10:00 am via Google Meet
We hope you will join us for these informational parent engagement events.
As always, thank you for being partners in your child’s education.
Sincerely,
Margaret Mirando Principal

Dear Families,
We hope you and your families are keeping healthy during this unprecedented period. We are charged with continuing quality instruction so that our students can learn remotely for the unforeseeable future. Our PS/MS 71 teachers are working diligently to plan and provide lessons, activities, and resources to ensure there is continuity of learning during this time. Your child’s classroom teacher will be the primary point of contact while school is closed. Your child’s teacher will communicate with you via email, text message, and Google classroom. Please make sure that your child’s teacher and main office have your most up to date contact information: home phone number, cell phone number, and email. Our goal is to provide you with standards-based lessons and activities that are aligned with what your children typically do during the school day. While we understand that this experience is not the same as being in the classroom, we ask for your support in helping to establish and maintain productive routines in following the educational plan for your child. Our teachers are compiling both online and printed resources in an effort to engage students in the various content areas. Students should read daily to maintain stamina and fluency. The following guidelines are recommended for each grade band daily: K-2 15-20 minutes 3-5 30-40 minutes 6-8 45-60 minutes More information on e-library through MyON will be forthcoming. For math, supplemental digital resources will be posted on our school website at: https://ps71.echalksites.com/ In addition, the DOE has created a page for families to Learn at Home. Please visit the following link https://www.schools.nyc.gov/learning/learn-at-home Guidance and information regarding procedures for the use of school technology for remote learning and picking up technology will be sent this week. On Monday, March 23rd, remote learning launches, with additional guidance provided throughout the week of the 23rd. This is a time where we all should be flexible and work collaboratively for the safety and wellbeing of our students and school community. I can assure you that the information and guidance we receive will be shared with families in a prompt manner. We will get through this together and come out stronger.
Sincerely,
Margaret Mirando
