Every year, all parents, teachers, students in grades 6-12 and select school support staff take the NYC School Survey. The survey helps school leaders understand what key members of their school community think about the learning environment at their school. The information captured by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.
Take the survey HERE
Families should enter “f” followed by their child’s nine-digit Student Identification (OSIS) Number to access the survey. Note that “f” must be lowercase. Families can find their child’s Student Identification Number on their New York City Schools Account (NYCSA) or contact Lisa for assistance.

We have just learned that the DOE has changed their position regarding the State tests for grades 3-8, for this year.
Students are not required to take the State tests and they will not be penalized if they do not take the tests. Rather than opting out, as in previous years, students must now opt-in if they intend to take the tests.
For planning purposes, please fill out this survey only IF you would like your child to take the State tests.
Only students who want to take the tests need to fill out this form.
Students who are remote will have to come into school if they want to take the tests.
Dates:
ELA: Wednesday April 21
Math: Wednesday May 5
The DOE learning preference survey will be open from March 24th to April 7th.

Families who have selected our hybrid learning program but are currently listed as remote with the DOE should have received an email from Lisa prompting them to change their status.
Choose one of these two methods:
Use your NYCSA account: Log in or create an account here: https://mystudent.nyc You do not need an account creation code to access the form for consent for covid testing. If you did this earlier in the school year, no need to do it again.

Special guest: Pediatrician Cheryl Wu
It’s now been a year of business not-as-usual. Should you be concerned about your child’s mental health?
Dr. Cheryl Wu will speak to us about the warning signs and guiding principles she has been using in her own practice to help students and families get through the year. She will share with us what she’s observed in her patients over the past year, and we will have a brief question and answer period. We also hope to have one or more of nyICE’s counseling staff on hand to share resources and information specific to our school.
Also at this meeting:
COVID testing isn’t the only testing! While there is a grassroots, and now Congressional, effort to push back, the Biden administration has signaled that states must still give standardized tests this year. At nyICE, that means 6th-8th grade math & ELA tests, 8th grade science tests, and the ELA Regents exam (high school). Parent reps from nyICE PAC will be sharing more about this, including how and why you should consider refusing the exams on your child’s behalf. In addition, our principal Pete will report to us on the specific ways nyICE students are being assessed and graded this year, and whether or not having state test scores will play a part in teaching and learning decisions at our school going forward.

Guarde la fecha: la próxima reunión de la Asociación de Padres es el jueves 18 de marzo, 6 PM
Invitada especial: Pediatra Cheryl Wu
Ha sido un año de negocios no habituales. ¿Debe preocuparse por la salud mental de su hijo?
La Dra. Cheryl Wu nos hablará sobre las señales de advertencia y los principios rectores que ha estado utilizando en su propia práctica para ayudar a los estudiantes y las familias a superar el año. Compartirá con nosotros lo que ha observado en sus pacientes durante el último año, y tendremos un breve período de preguntas y respuestas. También esperamos contar con la presencia de uno o más miembros del personal de asesoramiento de nyICE para compartir recursos e información específica de nuestra escuela.
También en esta reunión:
¡Las pruebas COVID no son las únicas pruebas! Si bien hay un esfuerzo de base, y ahora del Congreso, para oponerse, la administración de Biden ha señalado que los estados deben seguir dando pruebas estandarizadas este año. En nyICE, eso significa exámenes de matemáticas y ELA de 6º a 8º grado, exámenes de ciencias de 8º grado y el examen Regents de ELA (escuela secundaria). Los representantes de los padres de nyICE PAC compartirán más información sobre esto, incluyendo cómo y por qué debería considerar rechazar los exámenes en nombre de su hijo. Además, nuestro director Pete nos informará sobre las formas específicas en que los estudiantes de nyICE están siendo evaluados y calificados este año, y si tener o no los resultados de las pruebas estatales jugará un papel en las decisiones de enseñanza y aprendizaje en nuestra escuela en el futuro.
Please attend this important conversation organized by Teens Take Charge, including students from NYICE. All ages are welcome.
