Back to School will be delayed for the vast majority of NYC school children with half returning September 29 and the rest returning on October 1st. 


Pre-K, 3-K and Special Needs students will return to the classroom on Monday. 


Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the plan for a phased schedule for children to return to the classroom as well as the hiring of 2,500 additional teachers. 


“For months, teachers, principals and school staff have been working hard to make sure our students have the education they deserve while putting health and safety first,” de Blasio said. “Today, we are announcing the latest in our larger plan to re-open schools the right way and give working class families the in-person education they’ve asked us to deliver.”


  • Monday, September 21st: 

Blended learning students in grades 3-K and Pre-K, as well as all grades in District 75·


  • Tuesday, September 29th: 

Blended learning students enrolled in K-5 and K-8 schools.


  • Thursday, October 1st: 

Blended learning students enrolled in middle schools, high schools, secondary schools (schools spanning grades 6-12), and transfer schools/adult education.


All students in full remote programs will continue as planned starting full-day instruction on Monday, September 21. As students begin in-person learning according to the above timeline, they will do so according to the blended learning schedules their schools have provided them (e.g., coming in person on Tuesday and Wednesday).


“Our students, staff, and families have demonstrated tremendous resilience over the last six months, and we’re going to continue to build on all the work we’ve done as we move forward,” said Schools Chancellor Richard A. Carranza . “We are giving our schools more staff, more time, and more support to have the strongest possible start to the most unprecedented school year.”


The announcement comes after teachers balked at the original plan to reopen fully on Monday, claiming schools did not have proper PPE or were properly cleaned. 


Under the new plan, elementary school students return after the end of the Jewish holidays on September 29.

Antibacterial Regimen Treats Skin Problems from Radiation Treatment for Cancer

Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center Study Shows that a Low-cost Antibacterial Regimen Can Prevent Acute Radiation Dermatitis   BRONX - Acute radiation dermatitis (ARD)—characterized by red, sore, itchy or peeling skin—affects up to 95% of people undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. Severe cases can cause significant swelling and painful skin ulcers that can severely impair quality of life, yet little is known about why this condition occurs and no standardized treatments for preventing severe ARD have been widely adapted.   Researchers at Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center (MECC) have found that many cases of ARD involve a common skin bacterium and that a simple, low-cost treatment can prevent severe cases, potentially setting a new standard of care for people undergoing radiation therapy. Their findings were reported in two papers published today in JAMA Oncology . Each year, 10 million people are treated with radiation therapy to reduce the size of their tumors.
