Learning Bridges 

The Learning Bridges program will provide childcare options for parents of students in grades 3-K–8, on days when they are scheduled for remote learning. The Learning Bridges childcare is only available to students who are registered for blended learning, and will only be available on the days that students are scheduled for remote learning. The Learning Bridges program will be operated by community-based organizations (CBOs) and other partners under contract with the DOE for early childhood students, or Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) for K–8 students.

How to Apply

• If you are interested in the Learning Bridges program, please complete this application(Open external link). 
• Need help completing the online application? Call 311 for assistance.
• If you already filled out the expression of interest form, you do not need to complete another application.

All schools are currently preparing for a blended learning model. Blended learning means that students learn part of the time in-person in school buildings, and continue their learning remotely, from home, on the remaining weekdays. Any family can also choose all-remote learning this fall, for any reason. If all-remote learning is your preference, we ask to hear from you by filling out a short web form at schools.nyc.gov/returntoschool2020, or by calling 311. If you begin in blended learning, you can decide later to transition to all-remote, but to best support schools in their planning for reopening, we ask that those who have a preference for 100% remote notify us by this Friday, August 7.   (It is not too late to complete the survey)  

Parents, it is important that you register on to NYCSA (New York City Schools Account) an app that provides the student's personal profile. This is where you will receive your child’s report card.  It also provides information such as: Grades, NYS Test scores.   You can register using this link: https://mystudent.nyc/    Or  you can contact our Parent Coordinator,  Ms. Yvette Vasquez at her email YVasquez2@schools.nyc.gov
