We are doing everything we can to make sure staff, students, and families are safe. Please check back regularly, as we will update the information here as conditions change.

Our school district Opens in a new browser tab also has important information and resources for you.

During blended or 100% remote learning, your child is expected to complete all assignments provided by the teacher. At the same time, we recognize that working independently at home is different and difficult for many students, so we want to provide flexibility.

• At-home assignments for the week will be posted in Google Classroom. Please make sure to check the due date for each assignment as they may vary. 
• Assignments will be graded, make sure to submit each of your assignments promptly. 
• All students are expected to check with their Advocate on the daily basis.

Blended Learning Model: 

The blended learning model incorporates a combination of both on-site instruction (in-person) and remote  (via internet) instruction. Students will be schedule to attend to school on specific days based on their cohort and will be remote the rest of the days at home. 

Group A-Destiny:12th Grade/Renaissance: 9th Grade

9th and 12th Grade will be attending to school on Monday (every other), Tuesday and Thursday. 

Group B-Journey: 11th Grade/Victory:10th Grade

10th and 11th Grade will be attending to school on Monday (every other), Wednesday and Friday.

Fully Remote Learning Model:

The fully remote model uses only synchronous and asynchronous online learning and does not include in-person. Students who have opted to learn fully remote will be online with their teachers(s) every day engaging in both synchronous and asynchronous learning. They are expected to report to each of their teachers at the beginning of each period and complete the work that has been assigned  via Google Classroom or other learning platforms. To communicate with your teachers on asynchronous learning days, use IEC Teams. 

The DOE has created student accounts for every single New York City public school student, including 3K and Pre-K students.

The account gives your student access to TeachHub, which is how students access:

• iLearnNYC, the Summer School 2020 online learning platform 
• Student report cards (available in the Student Documents icon)
• Multiple educational applications
• G Suite, Microsoft O365, and Zoom (using secure central accounts)
