Safety and Security Update
by Ingram Realdina Oct. 26, 2022

Oct. 26, 2022

Stuyvesant Families, This morning the school received an anonymous phone call for a potential threat. We immediately followed protocol including notifying our safety agents, NYPD, and the entire administration. Based on the information from the phone call we moved into a shelter in, which means students and staff continue business as usual but are not allowed to enter or leave the building. Students who were coming to school and/or on the bridge were held at the bridge with safety agents momentarily. After a brief preliminary assessment and in coordination with the NYPD, we brought students into the building. After following protocols and conducting our investigation, we deemed the threat NOT credible. However, we are continuing to take extra precautions by having our safety agents, NYPD, and school staff be visible inside and outside the building. Additionally, students will remain in the building for lunch and free periods throughout the day as an extra precaution. We will send another update about precautions for dismissal and extracurricular activities later in the day. Sincerely, Seung C. Yu, Ed.D Principal – Cahn Fellow, 2021 Stuyvesant High School Office: 212-312-4800 Fax: 212-587-3874 Dina Ingram Business Manager/Director of Family Engagement Stuyvesant High School 212-312-4800 ext. 2731 - Office 347-224-6673 - Mobile www.stuy.edu<http://www.stuy.edu> Follow Stuyvesant High School [cid:7c0e2cbd-c611-422e-9729-7592c4fa2175]<http://facebook.com/StuyNYC/> [cid:cfdc39a6-729a-4159-846d-61077634c80e] <https://twitter.com/stuyNY> [cid:d2ebacac-d74b-46c9-8fa2-455bdbdc9da0] <http://instagram.com/Stuyvesanths_NY> [cid:29373ae7-0f4a-47f5-b837-fbabb61a51b5] <https://www.linkedin.com/school/stuyvesant-high-school> [cid:4409f4ab-2bc8-446c-bc6e-69d585ea58ef] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkUZ-joMl2qir6YFt2uKMNg/videos>

All people, regardless of vaccination status are strongly encouraged to wear masks at all times when indoors in a public setting. Please see the DOHMH advisory<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww1.nyc.…> for more information. What Happens Now? • If your child is in 3-K, Pre-K or Kindergarten through Grade 12 and this is the first time within the last five days that your child was exposed in school, your child will come home with a COVID test kit today. o Your child will not receive a home test kit if: • Your child was previously exposed within the last five days and has already received a test kit. • If your child has recovered from COVID in the last 90 days. • The kit contains two tests. Please follow the directions below to use the tests. o Please help your child take the first test on the fourth day after their last exposure. If the test is negative, your child can continue to attend school. o Please help your child take the second test on the fifth day after exposure. • Your child may continue to attend school as long as your child receives negative test results both times and does not experience any symptoms of COVID-19. It is strongly recommended that anyone exposed to COVID wears a mask for 10 days from their last exposure. • If your child has COVID-like symptoms or feels ill at any point after receiving the home test, please have your child isolate and take home test. • If your child tests positive on either home test, you must notify your child’s school and your child must isolate for at least 5 days. • As a reminder, regardless of age, students who are fully vaccinated do not need to quarantine when they are exposed to COVID-19, unless they have symptoms. • If your child is under 2 years old in a LYFE program, they must quarantine for at least 8 days since their last exposure. In order to test to return to school on Day 8, your child must be asymptomatic, and have a negative lab-based test taken on Day 5. Children that do not get tested can return after quarantining for 10 days. Note: home test kits are not considered valid for children under 2 years old, unless administered by a health care provider. • Students that have had, and recovered from, COVID within the last 90 days do not need to quarantine. How do I use test kits distributed at school? All test kits come with printed instructions, please follow these instructions when administering the test. You can also check your test kit and watch a video on how to use your test kit. Videos in multiple languages can be found at https://www.schools.nyc.gov/HomeRapidTestKits. How do we stay healthy? Vaccination is the most important tool we have to protect ourselves from COVID-19. We strongly encourage the COVID-19 vaccination for all age-eligible students. Find a vaccine site today at https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvaccinefi…>. There is no cost to be vaccinated. Vaccine booster shots are now available for all fully vaccinated New Yorkers 5 years and older. These shots boost your immunity from an initial vaccination series. A booster shot is recommended for any adult who received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least five months ago, the second dose of the Moderna vaccine at least six months ago, or the one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago. Please remember to follow these important actions to prevent COVID-19 transmission: 1. Stay home if sick (except to get essential medical care, including COVID-19 testing). 2. Wear a face covering if you are symptomatic or exposed to reduce the spread of COVID-19. 3. Practice healthy hand hygiene: Wash your hands often or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer; avoid touching your face; and cover your cough or sneeze with your arm, not your hands.
