The classes that had 100% participation will receive their pizza party tomorrow, Thursday, June 23, and Friday, June 24.

DOE Health Screening
School Visitor Policy
Latest Update from the DOE Monday, March 7, 2022
The following protocols are in place when entering a school building.
Visitors 12 and older must show proof of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination to enter a school building. Visitors do not include students attending a school in a DOE building. This proof may be provided in several ways. Please see the link above for more information.
In order to enter the building, a visitor must have the following:
- show identification
- have proof of vaccination
- complete the daily health screening form
Health Screening DOE Buildings/ Covid Testing Consent
Before entering the school building, all students and guests must complete the Health Screening Tool. Students can use the "DOE Employees and Students" option with their @nycstudents.net accounts to fill this screening out. Parents/ guardians, and other guests can use the "Guest Screening" option.
All students entering PS 65 as of Monday, December 7, 2020 will require a Consent for Testing form completed. You will need to print it out and give to your child. For easier access, log in to your child's NYC Schools Account.

Recommendations from the School Safety Committee Meeting - Effective September 27, 2021
Below are recommendations that our School Safety Committee Meeting discussed and will implement effective 9/27/21. Please read and adhere to all of these safety guidelines.
Thank you.
- Students who ride the bus in the a.m. - MUST show passed "Health Screening" to the driver BEFORE entering the bus. Students must NOT get on the bus if they fail the "Health Screening".
- All visitors on DOE property must wear masks at all times. This requires outdoor pick-up as well.
- No visitor is permitted inside the school building. Our School Safety Officer will check to ensure ALL VISITORS have been vaccinated before permitting entry to the school building.
- Dismissal will continue to be from the schoolyard. We ask all families to pick up their child/children and exit the schoolyard. Students are not permitted to remain to play in any of the play areas as those areas will be used by the JCC students. The JCC has a permit to use that space at that time.
- Early pick-up is ONLY permitted BEFORE 2:00 p.m. with a note to the teacher. There will be no pick-up between 2:00-3:00 p.m. to avoid confusion with all of the various dismissal procedures. We STRONGLY encourage you to keep your child in school all day and ONLY pick up early if there is an emergency.
- Some of the afternoon general education buses have arrived at our school earlier. The drivers told us they would inform you of the new drop-off time at the p.m.
- Reminders for "Stop & Drop" on both Grant Street & St Pauls Avenue
- Parent/Guardian is NOT to get out of the car.
- Student is to be seated in the back of the car.
- Students are NEVER to get out on the street side of the car.
- Health Screening must be completed when you pull up. We don't have time to fill it out there as this holds up the traffic.
- Staff will open the door, the student will exit, parent/guardian drives away. There is staff all around the perimeter to ensure students enter the building safely.
- It NO LONGER matters which grade your child is in; students may enter on either side of the building in the a.m.
- If you want to walk your child to the building, please park FAR AWAY from our "Stop & Drop" & please do not block traffic on St Pauls Avenue.
Thank you.
