LEARN-AT-HOME

Message about Remote Learning Days - 12/4/2023

Dear Harbor View School Families,

New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) 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. PS 59 has been selected to participate in the first round of tech readiness activities on December 6, 2023.

What does that mean for your child?

  • Your child will still come to school. 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 personal internet-enabled device at home, please complete our “Snow Day Survey”: https://forms.gle/az5cwG5EMrGVGSWZA (if you already completed this survey over the weekend – Thank you)
  • Families who completed survey and are in need of a device, will have a device sent home with their child on 12/6/2023.
  • Thank you. If you have any questions, please contact Kristen Druda, Parent Coordinator.

Sincerely,

Hanin Hasweh

Field Experiences!

Field experiences are an important part of our curriculum and your child’s education. The experiences are used to enhance the units of study. We will plan many experiences for the calendar year. Some experiences are planned well in advance and other trips have a shorter information turn around period.  

  • Our Field Experiences are a mandatory part of our curriculum. 
  • Family chaperones will be selected by lottery for each experience. Please complete this form ( https://forms.gle/XkgodfiBZ1V9Sqe68 ) to be entered into the lottery. 
  • Our school requests a traveling NYC DOE school nurse to attend every experience, but unfortunately, they cannot always accommodate our requests. If your child has a 504 please see the main office for further information on our policy for when a school nurse cannot attend.
  • Regardless of the type of experience, it is not permissible for students to meet at or be dismissed from a site other than the school.. 
  • Please see our Family Handbook for more details regarding field experience expectations and chaperone requirements.
