We hope you are well. As we celebrate Respect for All Week this week, below are a number of important announcement and updates:
Reopening for In-Person Learning Update
The return date for students who have chosen in-person learning is Thursday, February 25, 2021. Students who have chosen all-remote learning (in cohort D) will remain all-remote. We are working on the details and planning for how many days per week students will be able to return. As you may recall, we were prepared for an in-person return (50% of the days) using Model 1B. We are currently working to see if it is possible to bring back all blended students five days per week. We will share more details as they become available, and we will continue to prioritize the health and safety of the members of our school community. For students planning to return to in-person learning, parental consent for COVID-19 must be submitted prior to the return date. In order to assist with our planning efforts, please finalize your decision about consent as soon as possible. We will provide updates in the coming days and weeks as we move forward toward our return to in-person learning date.
Parental Consent for Weekly COVID-19 Testing for In-Person Students
Parental consent for in-school COVID-19 testing must be submitted for students expecting to return for in-person learning. It is easiest and most efficient to submit parental consent through students’ NYC Schools Accounts. If you have questions about NYC Schools Accounts, please reach out to our Jenny Cho, our Parent Coordinator, at xcho@schools.nyc.gov.Parental consent can also be submitted by scanning the completed consent form and emailing it to covidtest@ms67q.com. Please note students will be placed in all-remote cohort D if parental consent is not submitted prior to the return of in-person learning. The parental consent form can be found at the following link:

We will continue to update you as more information becomes available. Depending on our availability of devices (iPads, laptops, etc.) for individual students who are returning in-person, we may ask students to bring their own devices to school upon our return. If your child has a device from our school or the DOE that was provided to them to work remotely, your child would be expected to bring the device when coming to school in-person.
We want to thank you for your patience, collaboration, and flexibility. We look forward to sharing more details in the coming days and weeks about both all-remote and in-person learning moving forward. A more extensive “Updates and Information” message will be sent later this evening. .

i-Ready Benchmark Assessments (Monday, February 1 through Friday, February 12)
During this week for ELA (February 1, 2021) and next week for Math (February 8, 2021), we would like to partner with you again in having all students remotely complete an online ELA and Math i-Ready Benchmark. Since the beginning of the year, students have completed their initial diagnostic assessments and have completed adaptive ELA/MATH lessons. Parents also should have received the i-Ready diagnostic report from the school via Pupilpath. The February Benchmark will allow students, teachers, and parents to see the growth that has been made since the beginning of the year. Like the first assessment, please allow 45 minutes (one sitting or in increments) for your child to take the benchmark. Students should complete the benchmark independently and the completion, and not the actual assessment grade, of the benchmark will count for a grade in ELA and Math for Marking Period 3. Please help us ensure that your child takes their time while completing the assessment so that they may receive the most accurate results possible.
To access the Benchmark: 1. Log into TeachHub 2. Use Student NYC students account 3. Click the Clever app (Big C) 4. Click the I-Ready app (tri-colored cube) 5. Click on Reading or Math. Should you have any questions or issues, please do not hesitate to reach out to Ms. Lam (ELA) or Mr. Annello (Math).
