Our Covid-19 Plan

2022-2023 School Year

What will This year look like?

As we have done the last two school years, MS 50 will continue to follow all guidance from the CDC and the NYC Department of Education. Our approach to safety in the midst of COVID-19 is built on a layered approach of mandatory vaccinations for all staff, frequent testing of students and staff, face coverings, ventilation, cleaning, disinfection, and more. For complete details, click the button below to view our entire safety plan. Any changes and updates will be posted here and communicated to our families.

Free Meals

As always, all students are able to receive free breakfast and lunch at school. More information and additional locations for families to access free food can be found below.
