Institute for Collaborative Education
Our mission is to open every door possible for our students. With a commitment to student-centered education, our vision is to provide a nurturing, creative, and challenging academic program that meets the unique needs of all students. Our dedication to maintaining small class sizes enables personal relationships and allows teachers and advisors to make meaningful connections with every student, fostering a culture of safety, support, and belonging.
At NY.ICE we develop independent thinkers through collaborative work, authentic problem-solving and inquiry-based projects. Students take risks, test theories, and learn from their hands-on experiences.
Upon graduation, we expect NY.ICE students to be a force in the world, ready to thrive in the academic, creative, social, and intellectual journeys that await them in college and beyond.
Use Multiple Perspectives / Use Evidence / Analyze Information / Make Connections / Take Risks
Next PA meeting: Thursday March 18 @ 6 pm
/Special guest: Pediatrician Cheryl Wu
It’s now been a year of business not-as-usual. Should you be concerned about your child’s mental health?
Dr. Cheryl Wu will speak to us about the warning signs and guiding principles she has been using in her own practice to help students and families get through the year. She will share with us what she’s observed in her patients over the past year, and we will have a brief question and answer period. We also hope to have one or more of nyICE’s counseling staff on hand to share resources and information specific to our school.
Also at this meeting:
COVID testing isn’t the only testing! While there is a grassroots, and now Congressional, effort to push back, the Biden administration has signaled that states must still give standardized tests this year. At nyICE, that means 6th-8th grade math & ELA tests, 8th grade science tests, and the ELA Regents exam (high school). Parent reps from nyICE PAC will be sharing more about this, including how and why you should consider refusing the exams on your child’s behalf. In addition, our principal Pete will report to us on the specific ways nyICE students are being assessed and graded this year, and whether or not having state test scores will play a part in teaching and learning decisions at our school going forward.

Guarde la fecha: la próxima reunión de la Asociación de Padres es el jueves 18 de marzo, 6 PM
Invitada especial: Pediatra Cheryl Wu
Ha sido un año de negocios no habituales. ¿Debe preocuparse por la salud mental de su hijo?
La Dra. Cheryl Wu nos hablará sobre las señales de advertencia y los principios rectores que ha estado utilizando en su propia práctica para ayudar a los estudiantes y las familias a superar el año. Compartirá con nosotros lo que ha observado en sus pacientes durante el último año, y tendremos un breve período de preguntas y respuestas. También esperamos contar con la presencia de uno o más miembros del personal de asesoramiento de nyICE para compartir recursos e información específica de nuestra escuela.
También en esta reunión:
¡Las pruebas COVID no son las únicas pruebas! Si bien hay un esfuerzo de base, y ahora del Congreso, para oponerse, la administración de Biden ha señalado que los estados deben seguir dando pruebas estandarizadas este año. En nyICE, eso significa exámenes de matemáticas y ELA de 6º a 8º grado, exámenes de ciencias de 8º grado y el examen Regents de ELA (escuela secundaria). Los representantes de los padres de nyICE PAC compartirán más información sobre esto, incluyendo cómo y por qué debería considerar rechazar los exámenes en nombre de su hijo. Además, nuestro director Pete nos informará sobre las formas específicas en que los estudiantes de nyICE están siendo evaluados y calificados este año, y si tener o no los resultados de las pruebas estatales jugará un papel en las decisiones de enseñanza y aprendizaje en nuestra escuela en el futuro.
