Dear Families and Staff:
This is a follow up to a letter informing you that your school’s water outlets would be tested for lead in 2024. On April 13, 2024, all operational sources of water at Lincoln Athletic Field - Brooklyn (Abraham Lincoln High School at 2800 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11235), including for drinking or cooking, were tested for the presence of lead. The laboratory results showed no elevated levels of lead in any of the outlets at Lincoln Athletic Field - Brooklyn.
New York City’s drinking water is world-renowned for its quality, meeting or exceeding all Federal and State standards. In addition, the DOE works with other City agencies to ensure there is safe drinking water in schools. The safety and well-being of students and staff is our top priority.
For more information on the protocol used to maintain safe drinking water in each and every schools, please visit https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/space-and-facilities/space-and-facilities-reports/water-safety. Thank you for your support and we wish you a successful and enjoyable remainder of the school year.

Dear Families and Staff:
This is a follow up to a letter informing you that your school’s water outlets would be tested for lead in 2024. On April 13, 2024, all operational sources of water at Abraham Lincoln HS - K (Abraham Lincoln High School at 2800 Ocean Parkway Brooklyn, NY 11235), including for drinking or cooking, were tested for the presence of lead. The laboratory results showed elevated levels of lead in 8 of the 85 samples outlets from which water was taken and tested. Any drinking or cooking outlet with elevated levels was immediately taken out of service, and will remain out of service until it is successfully remediated. Details of elevated results are attached and complete test results are posted on the DOE website at https://www.schools.nyc.gov/schools/K410. Click “Reports” and look for the “Facilities” heading.
The test results include water outlets that are not used for drinking or cooking, including handwashing sinks. Sinks will have clear signs indicating “Hand Washing Only” and “Not for Drinking Use.” The custodial staff will continue to flush the Abraham Lincoln HS - K water systems on Monday mornings and after holidays to eliminate stagnant water. This is part of our comprehensive protocol to ensure safe drinking water for students and staff in each and every school. To learn more about the protocol please visit https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/space-and-facilities/space-and-facilities-reports/water-safety
We will keep you updated on the remediation work at Abraham Lincoln HS - K, and thank you for your patience and support.
Sincerely yours, Kevin Moran

We are writing to inform you that on Monday, April 8, the New York City area will experience a partial solar eclipse beginning around 2:00 p.m. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and earth. This casts a shadow that may make the sky dark for the eclipse's duration, as the sun will become approximately 90% covered in NYC during the peak coverage time, around 3:25 p.m.
While this may overlap with school dismissal times, please know that there will be no changes to dismissal, and after-school programming will remain in effect. Please also be prepared for increased traffic throughout the area and consider using public transit instead of driving during this time.
If you and your family are planning to view the eclipse, please make sure to do so safely by using proper, specialized eye protection. Regular sunglasses and other filters are not a safe replacement for solar eclipse glasses. Glasses are available at the Brooklyn Public Library, Queens Public Library, and New York Public Library while supplies last. It is recommended to call in advance to ensure supplies are available. Please take precautions, whether inside or out, as looking at the sun without protection can cause loss of the ability to see colors, loss of vision, or even permanent blindness.
For more information on solar eclipse eye safety, please visit the New York City Department of Health guidance: nyc.gov/site/doh/about/press/pr2024/solar-eclipse-safety-precautions.page(Open external link).
