Visitor Policy
Currently New York City is at a high level of COVID-19 transmission. During this time, schools should limit nonessential visitors coming into the building during the school day. Schools are encouraged, where possible, to address visitor and parent concerns by phone or computer. Principals and designated staff may conduct meetings remotely where possible.
In order to protect staff and students in DOE buildings, all visitors wishing to enter DOE school buildings must show proof of having at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccination. Children/infants who are not yet age-eligible for a COVID vaccine are permitted to enter a DOE building and are not required to show proof of vaccine. Please note that visitors do not include students attending school or school-related activities in a DOE building, including adult students participating in D79, YABC, or DYCD programs.
