A Note from the School Nurse
We are looking forward to seeing everyone again, in person! Our Leadership Team has been working hard during the summer to prepare for our safe return to school. I feel confident that we have robust procedures in place and a well-prepared team! Please take the time to review our GISNY COVID-19 Health and Safety Procedures so that you are familiar with them, and of course feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. My email is nurse@gisny.org and direct line: (914) 948-6952. Important Reminders: All students/staff with any of the COVID-19 symptoms will be sent home and asked to follow up with the physician or health care provider (HCP). It is important to remember that when we send a child for evaluation, we are not making a diagnosis, we are responding to the presence of one or more of the COVID-19 symptoms, which as you know, may be common symptoms in children for a variety of other medical conditions.
Either way, I will be in daily contact with you to advise on next steps and to answer any questions that you may have.

Update from our School Library
Starting Tuesday, Sept. 8th, a cart will be at the main entrance for students to drop off the books they wish to return to the library. Students have until 1.00 pm to place their books on the cart so we can safely move them to a location to sit for 3 days. If they miss the deadline, they will have to return the book the next day. More carts will be added to other entrances at a later date. We are still working on setting up a new system for students to request books via the library catalog and will pass that information on once everything is worked out.
Also starting Tuesday, Sept. 8th, parents can leave any books they are donating in a bag at the main entrance (on the ground next to our "return cart") with a note that clearly states that it is a donation.
