The DOE is now changing to weekly COVID-19 testing. It’s important that we have
a testing consent form on file for every student.
COVID-19 Testing Consent Form
Submitting consent to have your child tested for COVID-19 in school is quick and easy.
Please note-if you already submitted consent during the last school year or summer, you
will need to do so again for the 2021-2022 school year. There are two easy ways to submit:
1. Fill out the form online using a New York City Schools Account (NYCSA)(https://www.schools.nyc.gov/learning/student-journey/nyc-schools-account )
If you already have a NYCSA account linked to your student(s): Log in, click your
student’s name, click “Manage Account,” and then when a dropdown menu
appears, click “Consent Forms.” Read the page, and then choose the consent
option at the end for your student.
b) If you do not already have a NYCSA account: You can create one right away! If
you have an account creation code from your school, you can create a full
account in approximately five minutes, and then provide consent as described
above. If you do not have an account creation code from your school, you can
still provide your consent right away by clicking “Manage Consent” under
“COVID-19 Testing” and filling out your and your child’s information to provide
consent.
2. Print and sign the form and bring it to your child’s school. A printable PDF file is
available in ten languages at
https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/health-and-wellness/covid-information/covid-19-testing-for-students
Department of Education (DOE) Vaccination Portal
1. Using your child’s DOE account information, upload an image of your child’s
vaccination card or NYC Excelsior Pass to the DOE’s vaccine portal
at https://vaccine.schools.nyc/
2. The DOE creates a student account for every single New York City public school
student.
a) Log in at http://nycstudents.net . To activate the account or reset the password
click on the “Password & Profile Management” on the bottom of the page. To
activate an account, enter the student’s birthday (mm/dd/yyyy) and OSIS #.
