7th Grade Parent and Guardian Workshop led by Day One - Thursday October 29th @ 6:30pm

/

Day One is excited to begin our third year of providing the Early Relationship Abuse Prevention Program (ERAPP) to the ICE community. ERAPP is a workshop series for students in DOE middle schools about healthy dating relationships (and, in the case of younger students, friendships as well). All of our workshops are facilitated online, via Zoom, and use age appropriate, activity based methods meant to foster an active discussion among participants. ERAPP is an initiative of the Mayor's Office to End Domestic and Gender Based Violence.

We invite you to learn more about ERAPP by joining a workshop for parents and guardians on Thursday, October 29th at 6:30pm.

NYC DOE Health Screening to Enter School

All DOE employees, students, families, and visitors seeking to enter DOE buildings must complete a health screening before entering DOE facilities. This health screening must be completed on each day of arrival and results will reset at midnight of each day. Upon entering the facility you will be asked to provide the results of your screening either by showing your phone or a printout of the results.

There will also be the option of completing this form upon arrival at school.

On this same page there is also the option of adding this tool to your phone.

Todos los empleados, estudiantes, familias y visitantes del DOE que quieran entrar a los edificios del DOE deben hacerse un examen médico antes de entrar a las instalaciones del DOE. Este examen de salud debe completarse cada día de llegada y los resultados se reajustarán a la medianoche de cada día. Al entrar a las instalaciones se le pedirá que proporcione los resultados de su examen ya sea mostrando su teléfono o una copia impresa de los resultados.

MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES!
There is as yet no word as to whether New York State will cancel upcoming math and ELA tests, scheduled to begin March 25. As one NYC teacher tweeted, "Anything that puts pressure on staff and students to show up when they don’t feel 100% is a no go." If the state won't take responsibility, you can; boycott the tests! Last year, 90% of ICE families refused (aka "opted out" of)  the tests for their children. If you would like to refuse for your 6th, 7th, or 8th grader, please fill out this form (or send your own note or email to Pete or Kristen indicating you want to opt your child out). For those of you who are used to signing opt out letters at parent-teacher conferences, please don't wait for that opportunity this time because who knows if they will even happen. 

Need to know more? Be on the lookout for additional info coming in your email from ICE PAC parents from your grade (this opt out campaign is a parent-to-parent initiative, not an official school one) by this weekend. In the meantime, if you are curious about the opt out movement, check out optoutnyc.com or NYC Opt Out on Facebook.
