Cookie’s wants the students of P.S. 316 to dress for success! We are happy to make the process as simple as possible to purchase school uniforms. There are three ways to order your school uniform with the required logo. Please see attached for uniform information.
We are pleased to announce that, face coverings will be optional on school grounds for students in kindergarten through grade 12 beginning Monday, March 7.
To maintain the safety of our staff and students, we will continue to practice strict COVID-19 protocols, including increased ventilation, a daily health screening, and test kit distribution. Mask-wearing will become optional indoors, outside, and on school buses. Anyone who chooses to wear a mask may continue to do so, and your child may request a mask from their school if they need one.
The indoor mask mandate is still active for LYFE, EarlyLearn (Infants & Toddlers), 3-K, Pre-K, and 4410 classrooms. Children two years old and older and all staff and visitors in these classrooms, must continue to wear a face covering indoors. Since children under the age of five are not yet eligible to receive the vaccine, face coverings remain our strongest defense against COVID-19 for our youngest learners.
In addition, any staff member or student in grades Kindergarten or higher returning on Day 6 following a positive COVID-19 diagnosis or after having COVID-19 symptoms without testing is still required to wear a well-fitting mask at all times on school property through Day 10.
Masks are strongly recommended for any staff member or student who knows they have been exposed to COVID-19 within the previous 10 days. Mask wearing is still required in medical rooms and nurses’ offices, as well as in School Based Health Centers. Nurses will have masks on hand for anyone entering who may need one.
See link below for additional information.
This Family Update provides important information about our latest outdoor mask policy. This policy will
take effect on Monday, February 28, 2022.
Beginning on Monday, February 28, masks or face coverings are optional when outside on school grounds.
Masks will still be required for all students, staff, and visitors inside schools. We will continue to maintain
strict COVID-19 protocols, including increased ventilation, distancing when possible, a daily screener to
make sure those with symptoms do not come to school, and test kit distribution.
As a reminder, vaccination is the best tool we have to fight COVID-19 and to keep our schools safe for all
our students. Children ages 5 and older are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19. If your child is
eligible but not yet vaccinated against COVID-19, you can make an appointment for vaccination at
vaccinefinder.nyc.gov or call 311 to find a vaccine site near you. The vaccine is free for all New Yorkers,
regardless of immigration or insurance status. We thank you for your continued partnership.
CCM will host their orientation for Summer Risings on Wednesday, 6/23/21 and Thursday, 6/24/21 from 4:00 – 6:00 pm on both days. The orientation will take place in the front schoolyard.
