From the Chancellor Richard A. Carranza
New York City Department of Education:
Today, we are writing with an update to the summer learning calendar. Click the file above to view and download the letter.
For elementary and middle school students who are required or recommended to attend summer school, the program will start one week earlier and will run from Monday, July 6 – Tuesday, August 11.
For high school students who are attending summer school, courses will also start one week earlier and will run from Monday, July 6 – Friday, August 14.
There is no change to duration or structure for summer learning programs for either grades 3-8 or grades 9-12.
For students with 12-month Individualized Education Plan (IEPs) services, there will be no change to the calendar.
We hope that this change allows for continuous learning for students and provides an opportunity for families and staff to have more time in August to enjoy the City this summer.

Updated Letter to Families Regarding Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome
The DOE is committed to keeping families informed about recent developments regarding Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). MIS-C is like other serious inflammatory conditions, such as Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome. Since children with MIS-C may become seriously ill, it is important that families know the signs and symptoms their children may experience, so they can get help right away.

Pupil Prep
Pupil Prep is an organization to help elementary school students with financial and language barriers get the extra help they need. Due to the pandemic, students may be falling behind because of the new learning environment and may need some extra help.
Pupil Prep will offer this extra help by matching students to a mentor for free and assisting them in specific subjects, homework help, giving them advice for their future, and even prep for next year. Our mentors are outgoing high school students ready to help these students because students are more likely to want to learn from students who were in their seats not long ago. Our goals are to create lasting bonds with our students and families to help our students become successful.
Mentors will be picked based on subjects the student needs help in along with hours and dates. The hours are very flexible. Students and mentors will most likely be meeting on Google Meet or their preferred way of communication. If a session needs to be rescheduled, contact the mentor or sahad1@bxscience.edu.
Students will be able to show improvement in quizzes and their work. Conferences can be set up with the parent if they wish to discuss the student’s academic standings.
If there are any questions, please contact Depa Saha at sahad1@bxscience.edu or 9293303411. The status of the application will be updated when all pairings are confirmed. Thank you and I hope all is well!
The application for Pupil Prep is attached below:

UPDATE! Federal Food Fund for Families
Pandemic EBT (PEBT Cards) The federal government is using the funds left from the Free/Reduced Lunch Program to assist families facing food insecurity during the pandemic. PEBT cards loaded with $420 per NYC student will be mailed to every DOE parent of a child in K-12 to reflect the cost of their lunches while school was closed. Families who already get SNAP (supplemental nutrition assistance program) will see the benefits added automatically to their account. Families who receive any other type of state or federal aide will have the cards mailed to their address on file. All other families will have cards mailed to their address in ATS. Those families that are not in financial need are asked to give their card to a family in their community who needs it; there is no way to return the card. FACE is working on a family-facing document to share with schools/PCs, but in the meantime the official memo approving the program is found in the link below:
