Schuyler Families,
This afternoon, Chancellor Carranza announced that the City has now reached the 3% threshold of positivity and as a result, the DOE will temporarily close down all public school buildings for in-person learning beginning, Thursday, November 19th. See attached letter explaining the closure. I will send the link with translated versions of the letter when it becomes available.
Thursday, November 19th remains a HALF DAY of INSTRUCTION for students because of Parent Teacher Conferences in the afternoon and evening. All students will finish their classes at 11:38 at the end of Period 3. Parent Teacher Conferences will continue as scheduled:
Afternoon conferences: 1:15-3:15
Evening conferences: 4:30-7:00
Friday, November 20th is a full day of remote instruction for all students.
Student School Hours remain the same: 8:30-2:00pm.
Below is the schedule the school will follow during this temporary closure:
We will continue to follow the Blended Learning Model of instruction.
- Group A studentswill follow their current program for Tuesday/Wednesday via google classroom. On Thursday/ Friday, students will follow their current program via Blended Remote google classrooms.

Lunch Periods for Group A & Group B students:
- Group A & Group B students will eat lunch during their Physical Education period. For example, if I am a Group B student and I have PE period 4, I will have synchronous PE for the first 20 minutes of the period and for the last 24 minutes, class will be asynchronous and students will eat their lunch.
