November 29, 2023 message from Principal Lopes

Dear Families,

New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) are dedicated to ensuring that every student can learn uninterrupted, including during disruptions caused by building closures. To accomplish this goal, we want to make sure that our students and staff are prepared for successful remote learning. NYCPS has developed a practice plan to support and improve schools' readiness in the event a transition to remote learning is necessary. Our school has been selected to participate in the first round of tech readiness activities on November 30, 2023, however we have been in the process of preparing since September.

What does that mean for your child?

· Your child, in their class will engage in a digital activity to ensure that all students understand how to log on to a device and to their digital accounts.

· In addition to the in-class activity, the teachers will assign a short task for students to complete at home. Please ensure your child completes the digital activity at home.

· If your child does not have access to either a personal internet-enabled device or a NYCPS-issued device at home, be sure to reach out to us to request a device, if you already have told the school about the need for a device, we already have placed your child's name on a request form, and it was sent to the appropriate agency, and we will be waiting for their response.

· Thank you. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Peterson at [email protected], via email or phone.
