School Reopening Information
RETURN TO SCHOOL SEPTEMBER 2020 - THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE TO USE THE VIRTUAL MODEL FOR THE FIRST QUARTER (September 9 - November 13, 2020)
Use this e-mail AskQQSchoolReopeningPlan@lexnyc.org to submit questions regarding the School Reopening Plan.
The Executive Leadership Team has thoroughly reviewed and discussed all the concerns and feedback from our on-line meetings with families, faculty and staff. In addition, we have considered the issue of preparing our building for accommodating an influx of faculty, staff and students. The decision we have reached is not what we would prefer. Our preference, which we're sure is yours as well, would be that our students and staff return to campus and that we could safely return to in person instruction. That is not the best choice for now.
Instead, we will begin the School Year with Virtual Learning Plan for the first Quarter which starts on Wednesday, September 9th and runs through Friday, November 13th.
On Monday, August 31st, families will receive a letter, from our School Principal and their child's School Supervisor, that details information about Virtual Learning.
On Wednesday, September 9th, families will receive a joint letter, from our Superintendent and PBIS/Mental Health Department, regarding Lexington School's plan to support every child.

Lexington School for the Deaf is committed to providing programs and services consistent with students' Individualized Education Program (IEP).

School Reopening Plan - August 3, 2020
Click here to view Lexington's School Reopening Plan - August 3, 2020.
Lexington's School Reopening Plan was developed to conform to the guidance provided by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) in their July 2020 document: "Recovering, Rebuilding, and Renewing: The Spirit of New York's Schools - Reopening Guidance." This plan will be revised and updated as needed to adjust to changing public health conditions caused by the COVID-19 virus and all of the new requirements and regulations that may emerge over time. We solicited input and involvement from the families we serve and our staff during the original drafting of our reopening plan. We will rely on continued input from all stakeholders as we move forward in implementing this plan and as we contemplate any additions or modifications. -
