Message from the PA Presidents

Hello Parents and Caregivers,

 

For those that have a student that opted for blended learning, this week means a return to the classroom!  Principal Newman sent out an email earlier today with specific details regarding the schedule, escorting students from subway stations, snacks and hydration and more. Please see the email dated 03.21.21.

 

As new statistics have come out from the CDC and are being incorporated into the DOE, maybe we will be able to have more students back in the classroom.  We will just have to stay tuned to what the DOE has in store for our amazing kids.  

 

Our next PA meeting is this Thursday evening. We now have a Google Form that we ask you to fill out with questions prior to the meeting; it is in the 03.21.21 Tech Talk. This will enable us to group questions and stay more focused.  If we do this, we feel we can get more information out to people.  Mr. Newman and Ms. Nottingham, AP of Student and Parent Engagement & Mathematics, will be with us, as well as AP Kelly Lovelett, the AP of Biology and Physical Education.

 

We will  send an e-mail later this week with a new link to our zoom PA meeting. This will enable us to post the meeting to our PA YouTube channel for people to watch either again if they missed something or for the first time if they were unable to be with us live.  We hope to be able to use all these technologies going forward, once we get back to live in-person meetings we may want to still be able to stream or at least record meeting and have them available.  We are trying to make lemonade out of the lemons! Spring Recess is from March 29th - April 2nd; we will pause Tech Talk for the next two Sundays. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday, albeit virtually! 


We continue to stand strong against racial bias in our community.
