Dear 176X Families,

 

Greetings. The NYC Public Schools 2023-24 calendar lists parent conferences for District 75 on Thursday, September 21. Please note, 176X does NOT have parent conferences at this time, per UFT contract. We are still a 6 hour and 50 minute day. I recommend reaching out to your child’s teachers to Schedule an in-person conference for a “mutually agreed upon time.” Our administration will cover the teacher’s responsibilities so that you can meet. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

Estimadas familias de 176X,

 

Saludos. El calendario 2023-24 de las Escuelas Públicas de la Ciudad de Nueva York enumera las conferencias de padres para el Distrito 75 el jueves 21 de septiembre. Tenga en cuenta que 176X NO tiene conferencias de padres en este momento, según el contrato de la UFT. Todavía estamos en un día de 6 horas y 50 minutos. Recomiendo comunicarse con los maestros de su hijo para programar una conferencia en persona para un "tiempo mutuamente acordado". Nuestra administración cubrirá las responsabilidades del profesor para que usted pueda reunirse.Disculpas sinceras por cualquier inconveniente que esto haya causado.

Dear Families,

I’m thrilled to welcome you to the 2023-24 school year! Thank you for choosing New York City Public Schools. I hope you all are returning from the summer break refreshed and ready to jump into an exciting new year of learning.

 

For me, nothing compares to September and the first exhilarating week of classes—when I get to visit schools throughout the five boroughs, meet parents, and welcome students and teachers back. When I get to see the hope and promise in children's faces and feel that familiar nervous energy that charges the air with electricity. When I get to watch students tap into their curiosity and creativity, and experience awesome “aha” moments as they challenge themselves academically. When I get to see children’s brilliance and unique abilities, knowing that their families and teachers will inspire them to reach even greater heights with each passing day.

 

To ensure we set up our students for success, this September I am doubling down on our mission: to offer every child a bright start...and a clear pathway to a bold future. This means a year full of strong academics, enriching sports and arts programs, healthy and delicious school meals, safe, inclusive classrooms, and so much more.

 

NYC Reads, our groundbreaking initiative to ensure that all students are proficient readers, continues to lead the charge. This initiative features new, evidence-based curricula rooted in the “science of reading” and supplemented with phonics—the proven method for teaching children to be confident readers. Literacy truly is the foundation for all learning and is essential to clearing a path to our students’ bold futures.

 

Whether that future includes college, technical training, or an apprenticeship, we will make sure that all students graduate with a plan to achieve long-term economic security—and equipped with the tools, resources, and support they need to unlock their full potential and open every door of opportunity.

 

You can find important information and updates about academic policies, health and safety protocols, and more in our website. To download a printable Back to School checklist, please visit the website.

 

September is just the beginning of what I know will be a truly exceptional school year. Thank you for your partnership. Thank you for entrusting your children’s education to us. I’m so excited about all the great things we’ll accomplish together this year!

 

Soaring high,

David C. Banks

Chancellor

Greetings, families!

 

It is my pleasure to welcome you back for the 2023-2024 school year. I am so excited for this school year, my sixth year at 176X! One of my goals for this year is to strengthen communication between school and home. In addition to our website, Instagram page, and X account (twitter), we will use REMIND to send regular updates to families.

 

Our priorities for this school year include:

 

• increase functional literacy

• Incorporate mindfulness routines into our school day

• Make current data-driven recommendations for each student

• Conduct ongoing vocational assessments to prepare our students for postsecondary life

• Strengthen communication between school and families

 

These are huge goals, and I am confident that we can work together to achieve each of them! I hope we can trust each other to give our students the best experience yet. I encourage you to join our Parent Association and attend our parent engagement activities and parent training sessions. I welcome your feedback and suggestions to strengthen our bond and give your child everything they need to make a successful transition to high school and adult life!

 

Please contact me anytime if you have questions and concerns! The best way to contact me is via email.

 

Have a wonderful year!

 

Kind regards

Una de mis metas para este año es fortalecer la comunicación entre la escuela y el hogar. Además de nuestro sitio web, página de Instagram y cuenta X (twitter), usaremos REMIND para enviar actualizaciones periódicas a las familias.

 

Nuestras prioridades para este año escolar incluyen

• realizar evaluaciones vocacionales continuas para preparar a nuestros estudiantes para la vida postsecundaria

• fortalecer la comunicación entre la escuela y las familias

 

¡Estos son objetivos enormes y estoy seguro de que podemos trabajar juntos para lograr cada uno de ellos! Espero que podamos confiar unos en otros para brindarles a nuestros estudiantes la mejor experiencia hasta el momento. Los animo a unirse a nuestra Asociación de Padres y asistir a nuestras actividades de participación de padres y sesiones de capacitación para padres. ¡Agradezco sus comentarios y sugerencias para fortalecer nuestro vínculo y brindarle a su hijo todo lo que necesita para realizar una transición exitosa a la escuela secundaria y la vida adulta!
