• February Break!

  Dear PPA Families,

  As we head into the February break, we would like to thank you all for your continued support and partnership.  We hope that you find this week to be restful, as it is well-deserved.  Enjoy this time, and we look forward to seeing you upon your return on February 24.

  Please, remember to practice self care over this time.  As Katie Reed once said, "Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you."

  Wishing you a wonderful break,

  PPA Staff

• Coronavirus Information

  Dear PPA Families,

  Recently, a new strain of coronavirus has been detected in thousands of people worldwide.  The City is monitoring the outbreak closely and working with our partners at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  Please be reassured that there is no need for alarm or to change daily routines in any way.  The City is closely monitoring the situation, and all New Yorkers are advised to follow the same precautions they normally would in cold and flu season.  Please see the recommendations below, as well as the at-length letter from the Dept. of Ed. in numerous languages.

  • If not already vaccinated — get your flu shot.

  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when sneezing or coughing.

  • Wash your hands with soap and water often — use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not
  available.

  • Stay home if you have a fever or are feeling sick.
