To assure equity in education for all students, Rosalyn Yalow Charter School’s reopening plan strongly encourages the return of all students to in-person instruction. The New York State Department of Health and the Governor’s office prioritize in-person instruction for students in early grades, special education students, and English language learners. All these student groups make up 100% of Rosalyn Yalow’s student population.
Families have a choice. Those families choosing non-attendance will be offered instruction remotely, but that decision is in-person or remote, not a mixture.
The Coronavirus Self-Checker tool from the Center for Disease Control helps you choose when to seek testing and medical care.
The Rosalyn Yalow Charter School is a K-8 grade school in District 9 of the Bronx, which opened September 1, 2015 with 211 K-1 students. Now in our sixth year, Yalow serves 525 K-5 students. It honors Nobel Laureate Rosalyn S. Yalow (1921-2011), a physicist and the second American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine (1977). Dr. Yalow was a lifelong Bronx resident, raising two children there, where at the Bronx VA hospital she crafted her Nobel award-winning research in radioimmunoassay, a method initially used to measure insulin in the blood and expanded to cover many substances of biologic interest.
Our hope is that Dr. Yalow’s legacy will inspire a new generation of Bronx children to work hard at their education and strive for successfif
Rosalyn Yalow teachers hone their math teaching skills with Japanese Lesson Study—research lessons in which teachers collaborate with and critique one another to improve their teaching. The following video is from a recent demonstration. At Yalow, students are taught Singapore math, which balances computational fluency with conceptual understanding—numeracy—so students can master numeric concepts. Singapore math focuses on visualizing numeric concepts, and pictorial models are used for understanding strategies to solve word problems.
Team Yalow has been hard at work preparing our 2 buildings and classrooms for a safe return of our students. Scroll left or right through the photos below to show our new protective lobby partitions at the 169th St. campus with newly installed 6-foot partitions, and one model classroom, with protective desk partitions to minimize the spread of airborne particles between students, and 6-foot safety glass partition surrounding the teacher desk. Classrooms have been renovated to create additional space for teachers to walk around while viewing student work, and to install cubbies for students belongings.
Parents will be required to drop students off at the front door without entering each building.
Daily temperature checks and masks are mandatory for the students. Extra hand-sanitizing stations have been added throughout both buildings.
Rosalyn Yalow’s disinfection protocol exceeds CDC guidelines by using UV-C lamps with ozone each evening for disinfecting every classroom.

David MacEnulty, coach of the Dalton chess team, perennial national champions, met with 20-some parents of Yalow’s chess and fencing teams to discuss the importance of a healthy diet and good sleeping habits before and during competitions, particularly the weekend-long ones.
