Three of four printers purchased by the parent association have been installed on floors 3, 4, and 5. The last printer, for floor 6, has been delayed - fingers crossed it arrives soon! Our teaching staff is very grateful to have the ability to print and copy - thank you to all the parents who voted to use our Tech Fund for this purchase! Printers from Floor 3 and 5 are shown below. |

Thanks again to parent volunteers who are liaising with school leadership.
It looks like the IDC will be partnering with the PA for some fun events which will afford all us an opportunity to get to know everyone in the school community better. Stay tuned! And keep those ideas coming about how to use the IDC budget. The next virtual meeting will be on Thursday, December 9th at 9:30 AM. Be there! Questions? Concerns? Email us. |

Sign our Petition - Scaffolding Removal Efforts |
Are you tired of sending your kid(s) to school in a construction zone? Do you think that having access to the entire big yard at recess is preferable to having only partial access? If you are a K-2 parent, do you dread the morning drop-off mayhem that ensues every time rain floods the big/little yards? If you are an ICT parent, do you worry about your child’s safety as he/she navigates the various construction-related perils on and around the premises? Do you simply want your kids to see actual sunlight from their classroom windows? If you answered “yes”, “maybe”, or even “I’m not sure” to any of the foregoing, then SIGN OUR PETITION.
Our goal is to have this construction competed as soon as possible and signing this petition is one way to exert pressure to expedite completion (and scaffolding removal) ASAP. |

COVID Protocols for Holiday Travel
|
The DOE does not require families who travel to quarantine or show a negative test before returning to school. Daily health screening is still a requirement. Best practice would be to have every traveler tested before and after traveling. The CDC recommends “unvaccinated travelers should still get tested 1-3 days before domestic travel and again 3-5 days after travel.” Testing is free and easily available and it helps to keep our school open and healthy.
Please reach out to Tatiana if you have any questions. |

Last year, a local high school senior, Nia Franklin, responded to the rise in hunger in NYC by starting a food sharing hub at 101st St. and Columbus Ave. Her goal is for the fridge to be a hub for connection for the neighborhood. She called it the Ujamaa Community Fridge. You can share produce, fruit, staples, frozen food, leftover cooked food. Any prepared food must be labeled with an ingredients list and the date of prep. |
