What can families do to prepare for school during the summer?
We would like parents to click on the following link: NYC Family Guide
Parents can learn about each subject areas academic standards and expectations. They can also get tips on how to work with teachers to provide the best possible education for their child. Each family handbook is grade specific (9-12 is grouped together) and available in nine languages!
You can also visit 2012-2013 School Supply List as well as Summer Assignments in preparation for the upcoming school year.
Please use this time to explore this website and the school blog as well!
Transportation
There is an excellent link for parents on the DOE site that will explain, with visuals, how DOE busing works - http://schools.nyc.gov/Offices/Transportation/ServicesandEligibility/BusTransportation/default.htm
There is yellow bus service only for 6th graders who live a mile or more from the school and still reside within District 25, or for students who are handicapped and require bus accommodations.
If the child is a 7th or 8th grader, no yellow bus but he/she will receive a full metro card if the distance is 1.5 miles or more.
Eligible students for yellow bus service or reduced metro cards will receive letters home.
Uniforms:
ORDER NOW TO ENSURE DELIVERY BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS. Do not wait until Summer Bridge to purchase uniforms.
If you are unsure about sizing, it is a good idea to order a larger size. You can visit Ideal Uniform's office to purchase uniforms in person. The link below has more information.
