The current COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students participating in high-risk extracurricular activities has been expanded to include students ages 5–11. This mandate includes all high-risk extracurricular activities, including those hosted by Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and external agencies, taking place in DOE buildings. With regards to athletic activities, this mandate applies to students participating in competitive sports, meaning activities where students play against students from other school communities.

• High-risk competitive sports as designated by the CDC/NYSED/NYSDOH, which are football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, lacrosse, stunt, and rugby. Vaccination will also be required for participation in bowling, because while not a high-risk sport, it takes place in spaces that require vaccination for children ages 5 and older.
• Extracurricular activities scheduled outside of the school day, like singing/chorus, orchestra/marching band, musical theater, dance, and cheerleading/step teams/flag teams.
• Students who wish to continue to participate in these extracurricular activities must get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by December 14.

****** Please note that if a rehearsal, performance, or exhibit is connected to in-school required arts instruction or class curriculum, no student vaccine is required.*****

• No School Dec 24th - Jan. 2nd
• Mon. Jan. 3rd: School resumes
•
