Our month of June looks different from what you may see on the DOE calendar. We do have school on both June 7th and 9th. Please follow the calendar here to be aware of the other half days and days off this month.
Dear families,
We still need a co-recording secretary! If you have considered volunteering, this job is a great entry point to the Exec Board. All responsibilities are shared with your co-secretary.
Elections for the Parent Association Executive Board and School Leadership team will be held at our June PTA meeting on Thursday, June 16th, at 6pm.
Thank you so much to the parents who have already been nominated! Please click HERE to read about the candidates. Any legal guardian of an ICE student is eligible to run. All nominations are welcome. If you have questions, want more detailed descriptions of the roles, or just want to get more involved, email us at iceschool345@gmail.com.
Deadline to submit nominations is Sunday, June 12th since we need time to create the ballot for the virtual election platform.
We are super excited to see you all (in-person!) again at the ICE Spring Fling, our annual community celebration (and fundraiser)! This is a special event where parents/guardians, teachers, and staff come together to celebrate the wonderful community we cherish at our school, raise money for essential programs for our students, and dance the night away!
We need your help to pull this off. Here’s how:
FOOD donations: Can your favorite restaurant donate appetizers/party food? Let Krissy know here!
WINE/BEER donations: Can your local wine/beer shop donate a case of wine/beer! Reach out to Krissy here!
MUSIC/ENTERTAINMENT: We’re seeking parent, teacher, or student musicians/performers for our variety show! Email Jay to perform at the event!
PHOTO BOOTH: Are you a photographer? Can you take photos or donate supplies for our photo booth?! Email Gunnar here!
Dear I.C.E. parents and guardians,
We will be celebrating our kind, diligent and hardworking Teachers and Staff members on Friday, May 27th. Teacher & Staff Appreciation Day is our chance to express our gratitude for all the staffers do to make I.C.E. an engaging and nurturing learning community.
So how can you help?
We primarily need monetary donations.
We know that this is a hard time for families - financially and emotionally - this day will be a gift from ALL of us, no matter any one family’s ability to contribute. But, if you are able to contribute at this time, please consider all the different people on staff who help make up our wonderful I.C.E. community.
We do need a few day-of volunteers to help coordinate in-school events as well as the remote ones.
We are looking for body care practitioners, people who can provide massages and body work, lead meditation/ yoga/ other classes, possibly in-person and on-line.
*Please note that we will strictly follow COVID-19 protocols for the safety of teachers and practitioners.
For monetary donations please use any of the following methods and again-thank you!:
1. Venmo* - @Alisa-Payne (last four digits of phone number x-3370)
2. PayPal* - https://www.paypal.me/AlisaPayne
3. CashApp - $AlisaPayne
4. Zelle Pay / Chase QuickPay: phone number 646-246-3370
*For Venmo/PayPal/CashApp please be sure to pay as a friend, family or donation so you or I don't incur any additional transaction charges.
Feel free to contact us via email at iceteacherandstaffappreciation@gmail.com if you have questions, would like to volunteer or have suggestions on other ways to make I.C.E. Teacher/Staff Appreciation Day 2022 the best one yet.
Thanks in advance for all your efforts!

Staff, student, & parent perspectives on assessment @I.C.E.
Please join us tonight at 6pm for our meeting programmed by ICE PAC (Parent Action/Education Advocacy Committee.) We'll consider some of the ways that our school does and does not assess student learning. As a school in the New York Performance Standards Consortium, one of the most important ways that students at our school show what they know is via the PBAT, or performance-based assessment task. To demystify the PBAT we've invited our principal (Pete), a teacher (Josh), a current 12th grader (Elsa) and a recent grad (Owen) to join us on Thursday. They'll walk us through the nuts and bolts of the process and reflect on the value of the PBAT in the context of a larger educational environment that relies on standardized testing for student assessment. Members of ICE PAC will follow up that conversation by looking at historical and current developments in assessment and how these impact our children, our school, and maybe even us as parents. Hope to "see" you then!
