On Thursday, March 3rd, NYC School Survey for Parents were given out to students in advisory to bring home to their parents to fill out.
Parents from the ICE Parent Action Committee (ICE PAC) were in the cafeteria during parent teacher conferences with test refusal letters. If you took one, but didn't sign on the spot, please consider doing so now. Signed letters can be sent with your child to the advisory teacher, who will hand it on, or given directly to Pete or Mark. If you are a middle school parent who did not get a letter, ICE PAC will be sending them out via class lists in the near future.
Read MoreStudents will be dismissed after 6th period (1:20 pm) on Friday, April 1 and Wednesday, April 20 so staff can have extended professional development meetings. If you need your child to remain at ICE until 3:00 pm, contact Mark Mazzone at mdmazzone@gmail.com. Room 509 will be staffed and supervised until 3:00 pm on both days.
Thank you for supporting our staff.
