ENJOY FAMILY-FRIENDLY PUPPET SHOWS  

Our traveling CityParks PuppetMobile hit this road this month with free performances of “Little Red’s Hood” in English, Spanish and Mandarin in select parks across  the city. Performances are happening through October, with more dates being added throughout the season.

 

Back again this year by popular demand, “Little Red’s Hood” is a modern New York-centric retelling of the beloved classic tale. In this story, Little Red is a smart, young city dweller who is obsessed with her smartphone. Wulfric, a misunderstood wolf with a sweet tooth, crosses paths with Little Red on her travels to deliver her Grandma cupcakes and the trouble begins. This story offers a comical lesson on the importance of disconnecting from our digital lives and enjoying real life moments with friends and family.

Resources from the Child Mind Institute to help our students💗

Resources to Help Our Kids Thrive

We all want our kids to be confident. But even at the best of times, kids can struggle to learn the crucial skills they need to tackle new challenges and cope with setbacks. And with everyone reeling from a year of disruption and stress, raising confident kids may feel tougher than ever.

So how can families help kids and teens build self-esteem both now and as they grow? This week on childmind.org we take a look at the skills that form the building blocks of confidence. Some have to do with stretching out of their comfort zone and bouncing back when things don’t go their way. Others involve building healthy relationships with others, like setting boundaries and navigating conflict.

Special Education

Special Education

All students with disabilities who require special education services have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The IEP contains information about your child's interests, strengths, needs, goals, and educational program. It is a legal document that describes how the DOE will provide your child:

  • A Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
  • In the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).

VERY IMPORTANT!

Dear Parents/Caregivers,
 
It is very important that you return your child's "Student Consent to Test" form. 
You can submit it on your NYCSA account. https://www.schoolsaccount.nyc/
or use the forms provided below.
Many of our children are testing positive for Covid, but are asymptomatic!
You may not know that your child is positive if they have no symptoms. 
This is why it is important to return your child's consent form as regular testing at school can catch the cases that often go unnoticed. 
 
We have to work together to keep out school community safe. 🧡
See the forms in all languages below:🧡

Free Homework Help

Dial-A-Teacher     All K-12 students and their parents or caregivers are invited to call Mondays through Thursdays between 4 and 7 p.m. to get free homework help from a licensed teacher.

Many of the teachers are bilingual, so Dial-A-Teacher can assist students and families in 10 languages, including

Armenian, Bengali, Chinese, English, French, Haitian-Creole, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Tagalog.
