Welcome Back To School

Dear Parents, Scholars, Teachers and Staff Members,

   I invite all families to join me for our Monthly Parent Meeting the third Tuesday of every month.  The link for the meeting can be found in the parent corner.  To gain access to the meeting you will need to have a Zoom Account.  

   Please take a moment to complete  The Fall 2020 School Experience Survey.  The survey will capture anonymous feedback from families, students and teachers on their experience with remote and in-person learning during the 2020-21 school year to-date. The goal of the survey is to provide me with, formative and actionable feedback that I can use to improve both remote and in-person learning experiences at our school and to assist me in planning for the spring semester. The survey asks all respondents about their experience with remote learning, communications, technology use, as well as health, safety, and instruction for those students and teachers who attended school or worked in-person at any point during this school year. All students in grades 6-12, along with parents/guardians and teachers of students in grades 3-K through 12, will be able to participate in this anonymous online survey.

Links to the survey are available at schools.nyc.gov/experiencesurvey. The survey will be available online through Friday, February 5.

The overall success of this school year will require each of us working closely together, listening to one another's concerns and doing our part to contribute to a positive, healthy and safe school experience.  

Continue to be safe and well,

Schwanna Ellman

What are Magnet Schools?

Magnet schools are part of the New York City Department of Education and accountable to the same state standards as all other New York City public schools. Each magnet school focuses on individually themed curricula that provides engaging and innovative learning opportunities to all students. Magnet schools attract children of various socioeconomic backgrounds, race and academic achievement levels. They promote 21st Century skills as well as creativity, teamwork, and acceptance. Magnet school students learn in vibrant environments that prepare them for future careers and successful community engagement through hands-on experience working with businesses, cultural institutions, universities and community organizations.
