Picture Day Schedule, iReady Final Assessment, NYC School Surveys, & PA Elections Tonight

AmPark Picture Days are coming! 
Next week, on May 25th, 26th, & 27th, AmPark will be holding the time honored tradition of having in-person school photos with Mike Driscoll of Legacy Studios. 
​For remote students, at your scheduled day/time, parents can please come with their children through the Gouverneur Avenue entrance (the breakfast arrival gate in the shared PS 95 yard space) to the glass room entrance/exit.  There, Niomi and team will be ready to greet you and ensure that a health screening has been completed to enter.  Your child will also have a quick temperature check and get some hand sanitizer as they enter. Parents will then wait at the door while children are escorted into the cafeteria to take their photos.  Once photos are complete, a staff member will guide the student back to their waiting family.  Hoping to be proactive about the Health Screening you say? Awesome we say!  Please complete the screening on your phone with this link and be ready to show it to AmPark staff at arrival on the day that you are coming for photos, and thank you!

NYC School Survey

Your School. Your Child. Your Voice.

Every year, all parents, teachers, students in grades 6-12 and select school support staff take the NYC School Survey. The survey helps school leaders understand what key members of their school community think about the learning environment at their school. The information captured by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.  Currently only 30 members for the AmPark community have made their voices heard and we hope to hear from so many more before the survey closes on June 11th, 2021.

Take the 2020-21 NYC School Survey NOW!(Open external link)
​
Families should enter “f” followed by their child’s nine-digit Student Identification (OSIS) Number to access the survey. Note that “f” must be lowercase. Families can find their child’s Student Identification Number on their report card, student ID card, or New York City Schools Account (NYCSA).
