Dear Families:

 

There has been a slight change, regarding our make-up days due to Hurricane Sandy.

The Department of Education (DoE) will not approve bus or food service for Tuesday, April 2nd. Therefore,

school is CLOSED on Tuesday, April 2nd.

We have added one day to the end of the school year, instead. Monday, June 24th is now the

Here is the updated calendar:

Tuesday February 19 School remains CLOSED.
Wednesday February 20 Full day of school with 3:15pm dismissal.

Dear Families:

 

As you know, we missed 5 school days due to Hurricane Sandy and its impact. As we legally need to have 180 days of school, these days do need to be made up at some point throughout the remaining part of the year. While NYC Schools Chancellor Walcott officially called for President's week in February to make up those 5 days, our calendar will be a bit different.

Please see below for updated information, regarding our calendar:

Day Date What's Happening?
Friday February 15 1/2 day with 1pm dismissal.
Monday February 18 School remains CLOSED.
Tuesday February 19 School remains CLOSED.
Wednesday February 20 Full day of school with 3:15pm dismissal.
Thursday February 21 Full day of school with 3:15pm dismissal.
Friday February 22 Full day of school with 3:15pm dismissal.
Tuesday April 2 Full day of school with 3:15pm dismissal.
Friday May 24 1/2 day with 1pm Dismissal.

 

The last day of school is still Friday, June 21st.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your patience during these times and please know we are ALL going through this together.

Please enjoy times spent with families and friends over the Thanksgiving break!
