New York City Department of Health Inspection Tuesday November 25th
The New York City Department of Health will be here to inspect The PreK and Kindergarten classrooms along with children's records.
A number of children do not have a current medical form on file in the office. The Department of Health may request that the child not return to school if the form is not in the file. This has happened in the past with students in the upper grades and immunizations. An IRIS alert was sent Sunday morning alerting those parents that forms were missing.
