Narrative:

Shortly after rotation from runway 4 in lga ATC advised us of a drone sighting at 1200 ft. As we climbed through 1000 ft I keyed the mike to acknowledge atcs advisory and a drone passed just above my windscreen. I told the tower we saw the drone and that we may have hit it. Apparently this was construed as we did hit it. I definitely could have phrased that better. We did not see an impact and all systems were operating normally. I advised departure we would continue on to [destination]. The FAA met us at the gate [at destination] and I made a write up in the maintenance log to get local maintenance to do a strike inspection. No evidence of a strike was found.previous aircraft reported the drone and we were not made aware of this until after we were airborne. I was conducting IOE with a new hire and my focus was more on the flight instruments than outside the aircraft.
