Outdoor Learning - Streets
Resource for NYC school representatives about Outdoor Learning hosted on streets adjacent to schools.
Overview
NYC is offering an Outdoor Learning program that allows schools to hold classes outdoors in schoolyards, adjacent streets, and nearby park space. The program is open to all public, charter, and private schools, as well as Learning Bridges. Schools in areas hardest-hit by COVID-19 with no outdoor space will receive priority for the program.
*If you are a school representative and would like to apply for Outdoor Learning at your school, please visit DOE’s Outdoor Learning InfoHub and submit your application.
Principals, teachers, and staff should visit DOE’s Outdoor Learning (sign in required) for instructional guidance.
Accepted Schools
If you are a school representative and your school has been accepted as an Outdoor Learning - Streets location, please review the terms of your acceptance letter from NYC DOT. Schools cannot proceed with their Outdoor Learning - Streets location unless all terms in the NYC DOT agreement are met.

Setup
There are two kinds of Outdoor Learning - Streets setups: A set up with "Furniture" uses tents, chairs, tables or other difficult-to-move furniture. A set up with "No Furniture" has no equipment at all, or only really easy to move items like hula hoops. This type of set up is best for gym class, for example. Diagrams of both set ups are below.
