There is so much going on at AmPark in the month ahead!  Please take a look below.

December 5th, Remote Learning Simulation Day for Remote Preparedness 

November 30th, 2023
 
Dear AmPark Families,
 
New York City Public Schools are dedicated to ensuring that every student can learn uninterrupted, including during disruptions caused by building closures. To accomplish this goal, we want to make sure that our students and staff are prepared for successful remote learning. NYCPS has developed a practice plan to support and improve schools' readiness in the event a transition to remote learning is necessary. AmPark Neighborhood School has been selected to participate in the first round of tech readiness activities on December 5th, 2023.
 
What does that mean for your child?

• Your child will still come to school. 
• If your child has a school issued, internet enabled device at home (iPad or Chromebook) please ensure that they bring it with them to school on December 5th so that we have the technology necessary to support all students.  As many of our devices are at home, your support in ensuring that your child brings their device and charger to school for the day, it vital to ensuring that we have all of the devices necessary for students to be logged in for the simulation.  
• In school, there will be at least one period where the teacher will engage the students in a digital activity to ensure that all students understand how to log on to a device and to their digital accounts.
• In addition to the in-class activity, the teachers will assign a short task for students to complete at home. Please ensure your child completes the digital activity at home.
• If your child does not have access to either a personal internet-enabled device or a NYCPS-issued device at home, be sure to reach out to us to request a device.

Thank you. If you have any questions, please contact Bonnie, [email protected], and Elvira, [email protected], and always feel free to call the main office directly at 718-548-3451.
