Summer Rising is New York City’s free school-based summer program for any City child in grades K–8. Summer Rising will integrate the strengths of DOE academics with the Department of Youth & Community Development’s (DYCD) school-based enrichment programming. Students in grades K–8 will get outside, learn, and engage with peers and caring adults in safe, supervised, and enriching ways. These programs will provide a bridge to the next school year and allow students to reconnect with one another and with their schools. Students will address unfinished learning while being provided avenues for recreation, exploration, and fun. Click here to Register

NYC School Survey:
Your School. Your Child. Your Voice.
Every year, all parents, teachers, students in grades 6-12 and select school support staff take the NYC School Survey. The survey helps school leaders understand what key members of their school community think about the learning environment at their school. The information captured by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.
We ask that all parents complete the NYC school survey. You can click on the link below and be sure to enter an f before your child’s OSIS #.
You can contact Ms. Ilia Liff our parent coordinator at 718-266-4841 for assistance logging in to the survey.
Take the 2020-21 NYC School Survey NOW!
Families should enter “f” followed by their child’s nine-digit Student Identification (OSIS) Number to access the survey. Note that “f” must be lowercase. Families can find their child’s Student Identification Number on their report card, student ID card, or New York City Schools Account (NYCSA).
Plans for Next Year:
We will be returning to full in person learning in September 2021. The Chancellor has indicated there will be no remote option for students. We will be working on sharing presentations and setting up virtual and in person open houses for families so you can feel more comfortable with a return to in person learning. CDC and health guidelines will be followed and the capacity and distance rules in place during the time of return will be adhered to by all schools.
Our Chancellor has also issued a Family Letter - sent on Operoo and posted here on our website. Click here to view the Chancellor's Letter and register for Family Forums.
Warmest regards,
Rina Horne
Principal

The DOE has loaned iPads to students across the city for remote learning. Here you will find information on how to get started with your iPad. School staff and community members can also use this information to help students with connectivity and other troubleshooting issues.
For anyone who has a DOE-loaned ipad, we have some important updates for you. It is essential that you take the actions below to ensure your child’s ipad is ready for use for return to school. The first day of school is only a few weeks away, and all students will be working remotely for at least a few days a week. Your child will need their ipad to be ready for learning for the fall. Please note that when we have other updates, we will send messages to you and your iPad on Thursdays, and we will let your schools know about the updates.
To prepare, you MUST
Some iPads have not been turned on all summer. We need you to charge and power up the ipad.
