    SUMMER SCHOOL UPDATE

    Due to the ongoing construction project for our building, Long Island City High School will be closed over the summer of 2023. Summer programs, including classes for students who need to make up credits, will instead be taking place at the Academy of American Studies. We encourage all students to take advantage of the Tutoring Options (click for more info) available during the school year now rather than need to make-up work over the summer.

    Health Education letters (PDF) about classes that include skills and lessons on violence and injury prevention; emotional and mental health; nutrition and physical activity; tobacco, alcohol and other drugs; family health and sexuality; HIV/AIDS; and personal and consumer health.

    New York City Department of Education's HIV/AIDS education program requires a Condom Availability Program (CAP) at public high schools that can help reinforce students' decision-making in and out of the health education classroom. According to state law, through CAP, students in grades 9-12 may request free condoms, medically accurate health information, and health referrals from trained school staff. More details in the CAP letter (PDF) including how to ask the school not to provide their adolescent with condoms from the parent, guardian, or custodian.
