Due to increased influenza activity this season, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has requested assistance from the New York State Education Department (NYSED) with public health education. State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker has stated, “We need to make sure all New Yorkers understand how to protect themselves and their families and communities from this epidemic. From getting the flu shot to hand washing to covering your mouth when you cough.” Therefore, the NYSED has developed this joint guidance with the NYSDOH, requesting that school administrators disseminate this guidance to their school district’s medical director, professional health care personnel (school nurses), school staff, and students, families and communities as appropriate. “By working closely with our health partners at the NYSDOH to issue this guidance and conduct a school-based webinar held on February 15, 2018, we are providing schools with the proper tools to help reduce the spread of seasonal influenza among students and staff in our schools,” says State Education Commissioner Elia.

Calcium and Evans Mills Primary Schools will be hosting Open Houses for students enrolled in the new Universal Pre-Kindergarten classes that start January 8, 2018. The Evans Mills Primary Open House will be held Thursday, January 4th from 9:30-10:30AM for students enrolled in the AM session and 11:00AM-12:00PM for students enrolled in the PM session. The Calcium Primary Open House will be held Friday, January 5th from 9:30-10:30AM for students enrolled in the AM session and 11:00AM-12:00PM for students enrolled in the PM session.

Spaces are still available in our expanded Universal Pre-Kindergarten program beginning January 2, 2018 at Calcium and Evans Mills Primary Schools! These expanded classes will be the same half-day sessions as our current program and will be provided by our partner, the Community Action Planning Council. The 72 additional program slots for children are the result of an expanded UPK grant awarded to the District.
