Dear Harbor View Families,

We are excited to invite you to our Black History Celebration on Friday, February 27th at 8:15 a.m. During this special event, our students will proudly present their projects, discoveries, and reflections honoring the rich history, achievements, and contributions of Black individuals and communities. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their learning and join together as a school community.

💛 MSK & MBK Service Project Kickoff: “MSK for MSK”

This week, our My Sister’s Keeper (MSK) and My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Clubs launched their service project: MSK for MSK, supporting Memorial Sloan Kettering.

To build excitement, both clubs are hosting a Penny War in the main lobby!
Students can participate daily by adding change to their club’s jar.
Are you Team MSK or Team MBK?

Our MSK Club has invited all District 31 MSK Clubs to join in this meaningful initiative.

⭐ Why students should use their DOE email

When students log in with their DOE @nycstudents.net account:

  • No renaming is needed.

This is the fastest and most accurate way to join remote classes.

If You Join Using Your Own Zoom Account

Families may join the meeting using their personal Zoom account, but:

  • You must rename yourself with your child’s full name and class or grade.
    Example: “Ava Rodriguez – 3rd Grade”
  • Select breakrooms and click the one for your class / grade
  • If you join this way, someone from our team will assist you and move your child to the correct breakout room.
