Coronavirus Updates

How do I get a device for remote learning?

If your child is in need of a device, please contact the school at 718-282-4920 to request a device. 

The health and safety of all of our students continues to be our first priority in the wake of the evolving situation around the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in New York City. We encourage everyone in our school communities to listen to facts and not respond to fear.

It’s important we come together as a city and support one another as neighbors and New Yorkers during this time. COVID-19 is not more likely found in any one race or nationality, and we must each model inclusion and actively work to combat bias in our workplaces and communities.

LATEST NEWS ABOUT ´COVID’ - KEEP INFORMED & HEALTHY

Dear PS198 Families, Please keep informed using this official ´Text’ NYC info tool (692692) that sends updates straight to your phone.

The CDC along with New York City Mayor Adams have changed the COVID-19 requirements. Staff and students now have the choice of wearing or not wearing a mask while in the school building. If you would like your child to continue wearing a mask please send them to school with a mask.  As always we have masks available for students when needed. The Health survey must still be completed before entering the school building.  

Please keep any child with flu like symptoms at home. If your child tests positive for COVID-19 please inform the school as soon as possible.

Keep informed and safe for your own well being and the health of our entire community.
