 Dear AmPark Families, For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it. - Amanda Gorman What a historic week for our country! Our students marked the inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris with discussion, viewing parties, and our own 4th and 5th grade Student Council elections. Congratulations to Everlee Montes De Oca, Grace Born-Napolitano, Ethan Jeanty, Izzy Kane, Bella Ortega, Charlize Capellan, Josh Downer, Anaya Kellum, Gabriel Nortey, Casey Brown, Josiah Rosa, Madison Jimenez, Ethan Rivera, and Roberto Duche.

Please continue to be in touch with teachers if you intend on keeping your child home for a longer period of time. The transition back for in-person learners can be stressful after a closure. If any child or family is in need of additional social and emotional support, please do not hesitate to reach out. There are supports available for remote only students as well as needed. Kindergarten Applications are due TODAY! As a reminder, families can submit an application online at MySchools.nyc or over the phone by calling 718-935-2009. All applications submitted by the January 22nd deadline will be treated equally, according to schools' admissions priorities. Josh and Kelly will be piloting Drop-In Office Hours next week. Remote students and hybrid students on their remote days are welcome to drop-in to share anything that is on their mind and to ask for help if needed. We will use this time to respond to questions and needs that come from students such as reviewing assignments, coordinating other supports, and having open conversation. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9:15 - 10:00 Come anytime in that window.
