AmPark Owl Blog

Week of March 25th, 2022

3/23/2022

 
Hello and happy Friday, AmPark! 

Please see our (now weekly!) Owl Blog updates below, including a save for college program, a reminder about school surveys and an update from Chef Ricardo and the wellness committee.
​
Save for College Program: Spring Professional Learning Sessions
​
NYC Kids RISE is offering a series of live professional learning opportunities to support implementation of the Save for College Program in your school communities. Please encourage your Save for College Program liaisons and other members of your school community to join one of each of the following sessions:   
  • Celebrating Citywide NYC Scholarship Month 2022 will be held from March 28–April 1. NYC Scholarship Month is the time when your school community comes together to celebrate the first opportunity families will have to activate and view their NYC Scholarship Accounts. Participants can join to discuss this milestone, as well as the tools and resources available for implementation; they can register for any of the sessions by March 25.  
  • Building a Community of Support: 529 Day 2022 will be held from April 28–May 5: 529 Day is an opportunity for schools to honor the collective steps that families, schools and communities are taking to build a financial foundation for our youngest students' educational futures. Interested participants can register for any of the sessions by April 1.  
  • Incorporating College and Career Dreams into Kindergarten Graduations will be held from June 1–8. This session will focus on how school community teams can come together to determine how they will integrate the Save for College Program into their kindergarten graduations and stepping-up ceremonies, connecting this early academic milestone with students’ paths toward college and career training. Interested participants can register for any of the sessions by April 1.  
School Survey Reminder! 
https://surveys.panoramaed.com/nycdoe/login

Parents can access school survey by entering lowercase "f" and child OSIS number.
Parent can find their child OSIS number in their myschools account, or they can reach out to Elvira parent coordinator.

Why is the school survey important to Ampark:
The feedback from the survey is used to reflect and make improvements to schools and programs. Survey results are also used to help measure school quality.
Wellness Committee
Hope everyone's week is going well! I wanted to provide an update on the wellness committee's video to message healthy snacking.
Here's the video as it currently stands:

While it's still a work in progress (I will add additional graphics to make the message clearer for the youngest learners), I couldn't help sharing the results of last week's wellness committee filming session. The students did a great job with their lines, and our adult members made good cameo appearances as well :-) 

Yours in health, 
Chef Ricardo
Have a wonderful weekend! 

With appreciation, 

​Andrea and the entire AmPark staff
