School Spirit Day this Friday April 19,2024
PAJAMA DAY!
Spring Recess begins on Monday April 22nd and school will resume on Wednesday May1st.
Enjoy the Spring Recess!
We encourage all students to approach these assessments with confidence, knowing that they have been diligently preparing with the support of our dedicated staff!
One of the most important ways families can support their students is in ensuring students get a good night’s sleep the night before a test and that the students have a good breakfast before school (or arrive here at 7:30 for school provided breakfast). Please make note of the following testing dates:
• ELA April 11-12 for grades 3-6
• ELA April 15-16 for Grades 7, 8, and 152 (Computer-based testing)
• Math May 7 and 8 for all grades 3-8
• Science May 15 for grades 5 & 8
• Algebra Regents June 4 for grade 8
If you have not had a chance to complete the NYC School Survey, please take a few minutes to do so before it closes on April 19th.
You can take the survey online by visiting NYCSchoolSurvey.org. Use a lowercase “f” followed by your student’s identification (OSIS) number which can be found on their report card, student ID card, or NYCSA account. Families can also log in to their NYC Schools Account (NYCSA) to take the survey. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our parent coordinator, Ms. Gonzalez with any questions.
In the spirit of growth and learning, we would like to remind you of our partnership with PRACTICE, offering free tutoring for ALL students. Available in multiple languages, tutoring sessions will run Monday through Friday from 4-8 pm through May 10, 2024, via their On-Demand Virtual Support program.
See fliers emailed and sent via Jupiter for more details and help spread the word to our families. Here is also a video demonstrating how to book a tutoring session.
