DOE Summer Meals Program Begins June 27th

/

As part of the DOE's commitment to ensure that all children have access to nutritious meals over the summer break, DOE Summer Meals Program will begin on June 27, 2018 - the day after the school year end. Summer Meals are available to all children 18 years old and under at hundreds of public schools, community pool centers, and other locations around the city; no registration, documentation, or ID is required to receive a free breakfast or lunch. 
 
This program will be offered weekdays from Wednesday, June 27, to Friday, August 31 (except July 4th and August 21st). Although the hours may vary by location, breakfast is typically served from 8:00 a.m. to 9:15 a.m., and lunch from 11:00 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. All DOE summer feeding sites will have posters outside indicating the hours specific to that building. We have also placed advertisements to promote the program in subways and buses citywide.
 
For additional information on feeding locations, please visit: School Food NYC Summer   
 
This list will be updated every Friday until the start of the Summer Meals Program, when the updates will be daily and the site search will be active.

Immunization Requirements for 2018-2019 

/

The New York City Department of Health and the New York City Department of Education require that all students have the proper immunization.  Please plan ahead and talk to your pediatrician about your child and vaccines.  Please refer to the attached Parent Information Form for 2018 - 2019 School Year to be prepared for any immunizations your child may need for school in September 2018.

Immunization requirements have changed for school-age children in April, 2016 so please be mindful that some immunizations have been added and your child may require additional vaccines.

Family Income Inquiry Form Online

/


ICE is mailing out your Family Income Inquiry Form which can be completed online in the beginning of July.  Please take the time to fill out the online form beginning in July.  The Family Income Inquiry Form is a key factor in determining whether school's are eligible to receive Title 1 and other funding.  If you prefer not to complete the Family Income Inquiry Form online over the summer we will send a paper form home with your child in September.

Thank you for your help and have a great summer!
 

Announcing...The ICE Recording Studio is Amazing!

Announcing...The ICE Recording Studio is Amazing! 

After a year and a half under construction, the ICE music department is thrilled to announce that thanks to funding from the PTA, our brand new recording studio is finished. It is fully equipped with all the necessary microphones, software, mixers, and other music geek essentials. The studio is also being used as a rehearsal space since it has a jazz drum kit, a keyboard and three amps. And importantly, it is completely sound proofed! This year it has already been used to record three albums featuring 11th and 12th grade students. 
 

On June 30th 2018, Free Basement, a band formed by ICE 12G students Stella, Kenny and Marlon will release an album entirely recorded at the school and it will be available on Spotify and iTunes. In the meantime, you can listen to their single "Snow Day" here: 

And here is a brief primer to understand some recording studio lingo that you may now here being thrown around:

this won’t take long: gather food, blankets and toiletries 

what does this switch do?: cover your ears as quickly as possible

one more take and we’ll nail it!: start another fresh pot of coffee

i think the bass and drums should be louder: the vocalist is not attending the mix session
